Fully Managed HR
Why recruit, train, and manage an internal HR team when you can have a complete, CIPD-qualified HR department working for your business from day one? Our fully managed HR service gives you every element of a professional HR function — without the overhead, office space, or employment costs.
Your Complete HR Department, Outsourced
We act as your organisation's HR department in every meaningful sense. From strategic workforce planning through to the day-to-day employee queries, our team integrates with your business and takes full ownership of your people function — so you can focus on running your company.
Full HR Department
We provide every function you would expect from an in-house HR team: employee relations, recruitment, contracts, policies, compliance, and strategic planning. Your employees contact us directly, and we represent your brand as a seamless extension of your organisation.
Dedicated HR Manager
You are assigned a named, CIPD-qualified HR manager who learns your business inside out. They attend your leadership meetings, build relationships with your team, and become a trusted point of contact for both management and employees — providing continuity and consistency.
Policy & Documentation
We draft, implement, and maintain your entire HR documentation suite: employment contracts, employee handbooks, disciplinary and grievance procedures, absence policies, and every other document your organisation needs. All documentation is kept current with the latest UK employment legislation.
HR Analytics & Reporting
Receive regular management reports covering headcount, turnover, absence trends, recruitment pipeline, and key HR metrics. We translate your people data into actionable insights that support smarter business decisions and help you identify issues before they escalate.
Unlimited Support
There is no cap on the support you receive. Whether it is a quick question about holiday entitlement or a complex restructuring project, your dedicated HR manager and our wider team are available whenever you need them — by phone, email, or face-to-face.
The HR Expertise You Need, Without the Headcount
Hiring a competent HR manager in the UK typically costs between forty and sixty thousand pounds per year before employer National Insurance, pension contributions, and ongoing training. For many small and medium-sized businesses, that investment simply does not make commercial sense — especially when the workload does not justify a full-time role.
Our fully managed HR service delivers the same expertise, the same strategic value, and the same day-to-day support at a fraction of the cost. You also benefit from the depth of our wider team: employment lawyers, health and safety specialists, and payroll professionals are all part of your extended HR function.
- Significant cost savings compared to an in-house HR hire
- Access to a multi-disciplinary team of HR, legal, and compliance specialists
- Complete compliance ownership — we stay current with legislation so you do not have to
- Scalable support that grows with your business without additional recruitment
Common Questions
How does fully managed HR work on a day-to-day basis?
Your dedicated HR manager becomes embedded in your business. They handle employee queries, manage casework such as disciplinaries and grievances, oversee recruitment, maintain your documentation, and attend management meetings as required. Your team contacts them directly via a dedicated phone line and email address, just as they would an internal HR manager.
What exactly is included in the fully managed service?
Everything you would expect from a professional HR department: employee contracts and handbooks, recruitment and onboarding, performance management, disciplinary and grievance procedures, absence management, policy development, redundancy and restructuring support, HR analytics and reporting, and ongoing compliance monitoring. There are no hidden extras — the service is fully inclusive.
Is there a minimum company size for fully managed HR?
We work with organisations of all sizes, though fully managed HR typically delivers the greatest value for businesses with between ten and two hundred and fifty employees. At this scale, the need for professional HR is clear, but the cost of a full-time hire may not be justified. We tailor the level of service and involvement to match your headcount and complexity.
How does this differ from standard HR support?
Standard HR support is typically reactive — you call us when you have a question or issue. Fully managed HR is proactive and comprehensive. We take ownership of your entire HR function, managing processes end to end, attending your site regularly, building relationships with your employees, and driving strategic people initiatives. It is the difference between having access to advice and having a fully functioning HR department.
What does the transition process look like?
We begin with a thorough HR audit to understand your current position: existing policies, contracts, outstanding casework, and any compliance gaps. From there, we create a prioritised transition plan, introduce your dedicated HR manager to the team, and begin delivering from day one. Most transitions are completed within two to four weeks, during which we handle everything with minimal disruption to your operations.
