Bergamot HR supports small and medium-sized businesses with clear, compliant and people-focused HR solutions.
I’m an independent HR consultant working with small and growing organisations who want practical, reliable HR support — without the corporate template.
Employing people brings legal responsibilities, but it also brings opportunity. Your team can be one of your biggest assets when it’s supported in the right way.
Many smaller businesses don’t need — or can’t justify — a full-time HR manager or Chief People Officer. What they do need is access to clear advice, proportionate processes and HR support that fits how they actually work.
That’s where I come in. I provide tailored, straightforward HR support that helps you manage risk, support your people and focus on growing your business with confidence.
Work With Me To:
Minimise Your Risk
To minimise risk to your business by helping you to be compliant with employment legislation. Your people can be your greatest asset but if you don't manage them properly, they can be a risky liability.
Capitalise On Your Investment
To capitalise on the investment you have made in employing people by creating a great employee experience to drive engagement and all the good stuff that brings: attraction of the best talent, reduced turnover, reduced absence, increased productivity, increased customer satisfaction and increased profitability
Free Up Your Time
Strategic delegation of HR leadership and responsibilities to me free you up to allocate your resources and attention to the essential aspects of your operations that directly contribute to revenue and growth, confident that HR matters are being handled expertly.
I Can:

Help You As You Scale & Grow
As your business matures, you are likely to have acquired and evolved various HR policies and practices. I can audit your existing set up to identify risks and opportunities. I will examine strategy, culture, contracts, polices, recruitment, reward, performance, development, employee relations; a comprehensive review.
Be There When You Need Me
I can work with you on a retainer basis as your flexible, Virtual HR Manager. Or, I can work with you on an ad hoc basis to deliver projects or manage cases.

Why Work With Me?

My support is flexible and affordable, designed to fit around your needs and your budget. Whether you’re looking for a one-off conversation, support with a specific issue, or an ongoing HR partner, you’ll get clear advice, honest guidance and a calm, professional approach.
