Build People Foundations That Work.
You're growing. Your team needs structure. And you don't need another People person firefighting admin... you need someone to build the systems, policies, and frameworks that'll work without constant hand-holding.
That's where I come in.
Hi👋, I'm Ann. I speak plainly and directly, I value kindness and honesty, and I prioritise optimising people solutions for time and better employee experiences.
With 12+ years in HR and an MSc in Organisational Psychology, I help startups and scale-ups (typically 20-100 people) build people-centric workplaces.
I build foundations, not fight fires. That means creating compensation frameworks, performance management systems, progression pathways, and policies that work for your business as you scale then handing them over so you can run with them.
I'm also on hand for quick people advice when things get messy (redundancies, TUPE, underperformers).
The difference? I focus on systems and operations. Building repeatable processes that evolve with your company. Not ongoing admin. Not endless retainers. Just solid People infrastructure that works.
Advice
Are you looking for some quick People advice? Or do you want a reliable person on the other end for those times when things get a bit messy?
I provide hourly consulting or ongoing retainers for startsup who need expert guidance without hiring someone FT. Think of it as People support on draft, you get access when you need it, no admin overhead when you don’t.
What this looks like
Ad-hoc advice calls (redundancies, disciplinaries, awkward conversations)
Policy interpration & compliance questions
ER support
Pricing | £100 ph. We can discuss retainers or banked hours depending on your needs.
Build
Ready to move beyond reactive People Ops? Need proper systems that will scale with you? I build the infrastructure you need, compensation frameworks, performance management, progression & policies all writen in your voice.
What this looks like:
Compensation philosophy & salary bands
Performance management systems (not just annual reviews)
Job architecture & progression frameworks
Policy & procedure reviews and rewrites
Best for companies at 20-100 people who need their blueprint built properly, and not patched together.

Automate
Systems, data, & integration.
Are you sick of manual processes? Want your People data to actually inform decisions?
I specialise in automating People Ops, building dashboards for actionable insights, and creating workflows that run without continuous intervention.
What this looks like:
HRIS setup & optimisation (Personio, hiBob, Humaans, CharlieHR, etc)
People data dashboards & analytics
Process mapping & elimintation of manual admin
Best for companies who need their People systems to work smarter, not harder.
