HR Consultancy for Cambridge & Cambridgeshire
HR support for growing businesses in Cambridge, Peterborough, Ely and across Cambridgeshire. Our Norwich-based consultants help owners and managers organise their people processes and handle the issues that interrupt the working day.
From founder-led decisions to a management team
When a Cambridge business grows beyond its founding team, HR often changes before anyone has formally taken responsibility for it. Hiring decisions move to team leaders, new managers inherit performance conversations and the original handbook stops reflecting how people work.
We help you make that transition deliberately. Start by reviewing roles, contracts, onboarding and management responsibilities. Then agree where regular HR advice would help and where a defined project will do. This is practical support for the business you have today, with room for the next stage of growth.
HR support for Peterborough and teams across the county
An employer in Peterborough with several teams or work sites may need a different starting point from a small Cambridge office. A useful first review looks at who manages each team, how concerns reach the owner and whether contracts and payroll records reflect current working arrangements.
For businesses with staff in Ely, Huntingdon, Wisbech or St Neots, remote HR support makes it possible to involve managers in different locations. We can discuss individual cases, review documents and agree the next steps by phone, video and email. Any work requiring attendance is discussed separately before booking.
Hiring, developing managers and keeping records aligned
Our recruitment consultancy helps employers with the hiring process, from defining the role to selection and onboarding. It is support for the business making a hire. If your strongest technical employee is becoming a manager, leadership coaching can help them work through the change in responsibilities.
Retained HR packages provide ongoing support, while an HR health check gives you a review and findings report to prioritise improvements. Payroll support connects starters, leavers and contractual changes with the monthly pay cycle. These services can be discussed together, but the scope should reflect the work you actually need.
What happens when you contact us
Tell us the size of your team, where people work and what prompted you to look for an HR consultant. If there is an immediate concern, include any relevant deadline so we can discuss whether we can help within the time available. We will explain what information is needed next.
Our office is in Norwich, not Cambridge or Peterborough. Remote advice is the starting point for support across Cambridgeshire. If you need an on-site meeting, investigation or other in-person work, we will discuss delivery, availability and travel before agreeing the engagement.

HR in Cambridgeshire — common questions
- Are your HR consultants based in Cambridge?
- Our office is in Norwich. We support Cambridge and Cambridgeshire employers remotely and agree any on-site requirements individually. We do not have a Cambridge branch.
- Can you provide HR support to a Peterborough business?
- Yes, remote advice and document support are available. Tell us your team size and the work you need. For anything requiring attendance in Peterborough, discuss availability and travel with us first.
- Can you help when we hire our first managers?
- We can help you review role responsibilities, hiring and onboarding, then discuss the HR advice or leadership coaching those managers need as they take responsibility for people.
- Should we start with an HR audit or a retainer?
- An HR health check is useful when you need a review of what is already in place and a prioritised findings report. Retained support is for continuing advice and agreed work. We can help you compare the options during your initial conversation.
