Who we are


Meet our team of HR experts for SMEs

Hive HR Team

Hive HR Solutions was founded in 2017 as a small company with big ambitions: to shake up the HR consultancy world by providing a personalised human resources service.

Ditching the templates and 'one size fits all' approach, we set out from the outset to go that extra mile by offering bespoke human resources management solutions to companies that recognise the value HR can add to their company in terms of employee development, retention and engagement.

Since 2017, we have grown our team of HR professionals, each with different but complementary skills, capable of offering a full suite of human resources support packages tailored to clients' needs, budgets and industry. From long-term packages aimed at supporting clients on an ongoing basis to a block of hours to proactively tackle employee issues and avoid costly disputes that can arise when HR is approached reactively. 

We work closely with our clients to help them grow their business and achieve their goals, safe in the knowledge that their human resources needs are being anticipated in advance and handled by a safe pair of hands, leaving our clients free to spend their time more efficiently.

We are passionate about consistently providing a first-class service for a reasonable price and becoming a key partner for our clients. Our core values underpin everything we do and are based on exceeding clients' expectations and operating with integrity and professionalism in every aspect of our work.
