HR consultants in Manchester
Outsourced HR, employment contracts, handbooks and support through disciplinaries, grievances and redundancies.
Employers in Manchester
Manchester has one of the fastest-growing employer bases outside London, with a lot of businesses crossing the headcount thresholds — auto-enrolment, TUPE, the first redundancy — for the first time.
HR consultancy is not a regulated profession, so credentials matter. Look for CIPD qualification, and ask whether you get a named adviser or a call centre.

Common questions
What does outsourced HR cost?
Advice-line retainers typically start around £95 a month for a small employer. Ad-hoc project work is usually £85 to £150 an hour.
When do I need a handbook?
A written statement of particulars is a legal requirement from day one of employment. A handbook is not, but it is what you rely on when you need to show a policy existed before the incident.
Can an HR consultant represent me at a tribunal?
Some do, but tribunal defence is legal work. Check whether they are insured for it or whether they hand you to a solicitor.
