Hi. I'm Mandy

✨ HR & Hiring Expert & Leadership Mentor ✨

I help UK Tech Startups, Charities, Entrepreneurs & Small Business to design, hire and build the right team & culture (aka your dream team). I also support you with choosing your HR Tech & achieving HR Compliance, so you have peace of mind that you're meeting your legal requirements. 

I work completely on a pay-as-you go basis, so whether you want help with a one-off project or you need ongoing support, I'm happy to flex, to best meet your needs. 

So, if your business has between 5 and 200 people, and is based within England or Wales, I'd love to help you to build your dream team.
