YOUR FIRST HIRE, DONE PROPERLY
Your employment contract, offer letter and handbook, plus the starter forms, all ready for when you take someone on, so you know where you stand from day one.
SOMEONE TO ASK, EVERY MONTH
An hour with me each month and email for the quick questions in between, so the small things get looked at early, before they need dealing with formally.
PLAIN TALKING,
UK LAW
I won't give advice outside UK employment law, but I will tell you what could realistically happen, so you can make the decision knowing what's likely to come next.
Hello! I’m Katie
I set up HR Katie because I saw too many founders trying to carry the people side of their business alone. Smart, capable leaders who felt unsure when it came to contracts, performance issues, or difficult conversations.
I support founders to make clear, confident people decisions. I help you build the structure and clarity your business needs as it grows, without overcomplicating it. I’m here to tell you what you need to hear, not just what feels comfortable.
I have over 15 years’ experience in HR and I am CIPD qualified. I have supported businesses through growth, restructures, performance challenges, and the everyday realities of managing people. My advice is practical and grounded in real experience.
If you want HR support that grows with your business and gives you real confidence as a leader, get in touch today.
As a Small Business owner, who works with other small business owners, I cannot recommend Katie enough.
