Established in 1990, we are a Human Resource Consultancy based in Central London providing ongoing Human Resource and Training services to a wide range of businesses and organisations which include plcs, international banks and insurance companies; major charities; professional practices and a range of smaller growing businesses such as design consultancies. All assignments and client relationships are personally supervised by our Managing Consultant - Gill King Chartered FCIPD CMC FInstD whose profile is available from the Menu.

Another useful function we provide is to give a practical and unbiased second opinion on difficult personnel issues. Alternatively, to act as a sounding board/additional advisory resource for your HR representative, particularly where senior level experience may not be available in-house. Our areas of expertise cover Human Resource Audits; HR strategy; policies and procedures; contracts of employment; redundancies; TUPE; dismissals; appeals; organisational reviews; change management; outplacement; Retirement Coaching; career coaching; executive mentoring; business coaching; independent investigations into bullying and harassment; sexual harassment; grievances/disciplinary issues; appraisal systems; including 360° feedback; recruitment; interim management; customised training courses and training needs analyses. In addition to Gill's experience and input, we can call upon our team of carefully selected and vetted Associates who bring additional expertise and specialist knowledge to the Consultancy enabling us to meet specific client needs for example psychometric testing. Also through Gill's membership of the Richmond Group — a consortium of qualified management consultants, we can source experienced and specialist project teams to meet clients' wider business needs than purely HR services.
