About us

Our vision, mission and values… and what makes us tick!

Our Vision

Respected people partners, protecting business, enriching the workplace and inspiring proud and prosperous performance – a welcome workaround if you’ve got a people problem!

Our Mission

We help Financial Services SMEs protect and enhance business performance by creating the conditions for people to connect to the mission.

Our Values

Learning Matters

There’s always more for us to learn 

People Matter

Different ideas, experiences, backgrounds, opinions and perspectives shape better outcomes 

Integrity Matters

Profits matter…but people matter too 

Responsibility Matters

If you’re willing to put in the effort, we’ll go the extra mile. 

Service Matters

We’re new. We’ve got things to prove. We’re not complacent. 

What makes us tick?

We should probably tell you a bit about ourselves on an About Us page, but we really squirm at bigging ourselves up… It’s so much easier to find good things to say about someone else don’t you think?

So if you’re interested in finding out more about us, scroll down to see how we’d describe each others super strengths. ​

Mary

What Kelly says about Mary…

Been there, seen that and got the T-Shirt     
Never one to be pigeon-holed, Mary’s done all sorts in HR and seen HR Ops from a lot of different angles. She’s genuinely interested and invested in it all.  Pensions may be the exception!

Her brain fires on a lot of cylinders. There’s never a dull moment!
Mary’s creative. She can give life to even the most boring HR and people related topics!

She’s a bit left field…
What other consultant feels so passionately about people policies that perform that they create a course about it!

She’s her own continuous improvement project
Never content to stay still and settle, she’s not afraid to try something new if it solves the problem and leads to a better outcome – and that goes for herself as much as HR.

Typical Gemini!
She says she’s disorganised (and her desk proves it!), but she knows exactly what she’s doing. You should see her whiteboard and post its! 

Kelly

What Mary says about Kelly…

Miss Moneypenny
Who needs top notch organisational skills when Kelly’s around! She keeps me in check and this show on the road!

You don’t want to mess with her!
Kelly manages a girls youth football team… need I say more! But seriously, she’s no pushover when it comes to managing people problems. 

She’s as handy as Andy!
I swear she can turn her hand to anything and it always turns out well. 

There’s no flies on her…
Just like me, she does detail, crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s. She doesn’t miss a trick.

Give me a chance…
You give her something to do and she’s on it, turned it around and ready for the next thing! She doesn’t hang about.

Practically perfect in every way…
Her skills disguise my missing gaps… and she’s a thoroughly decent human being. 😊
