About Pathway Partner

If you have staff, but don’t have a HR lead within your business, or you have a HR team who need additional support, our monthly-retainer offer is the most cost-effective way to improve your HR resource.

Having the peace of mind which comes from having an employment law specialist advising you is invaluable. I’ve worked as Head of HR for 15 years across a number of sectors including: Marketing, Education, Hospitality, Housing, Local Government and Leisure.

I am a Chartered Member of the CIPD, have a MA in Human Resources Management and have a Level 5 qualification in Management Coaching and Mentoring from the CMI.

Pathway Partner is different because we apply all this experience to your business; reducing your people-related pressures and offering you timely and realistic solutions based on your timescales and budget.

Our telephone advice service is available 24/7; we’re there to provide quick, helpful and commercially-driven HR guidance when you need it, as much as you need it.

Our monthly check-in service allows business owners the time to delve deeper into real-time issues. Whether it’s an ongoing absence problem which is causing you headaches, or your structure no longer works for your business, these sessions unpick the challenges and find the solutions.

We’re here to help you get to where you need to be, but keep you compliant and away from the employment tribunal.
