Coast to Country HR

I'm a senior HR professional with over 30 years of experience, including HR Director level leadership, and a fellow member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development.

I created Coast to Country HR to bring high-quality, commercially sensible HR support to small businesses across East Devon.

Running a small business can often mean juggling countless responsibilities and wearing every hat at once. Managing people can be one of the toughest parts, and HR can quickly feel overwhelming especially with the latest changes in employment law. Yet having productive, skilled and happy people is essential to your business success. 

Whether you’re hiring your first employee, navigating challenging people issues, or trying to balance employee expectations, I can help. I can offer practical HR compliant solutions tailored specifically to small businesses, along with mentoring, people development guidance, employee benefits advice, succession and skills planning. 

My approach is simple;  I help you manage your people with clarity and confidence. You will get jargon-free HR support that fits the real world you are working in.  Together, we’ll build a workplace where your people can thrive, freeing you up to focus on running and growing your business, rather than firefighting people problems.
