I’ve spent the last 20 years working in HR and People leadership roles across a wide range of industries and businesses, from family businesses to complex, international companies. I’ve worked alongside founders, senior leaders and leadership teams, helping them navigate everything from the everyday people challenges to the bigger questions around culture, leadership, change and growth.

What I love about HR is that, ultimately, it’s about people. I’m passionate about helping businesses get the best from their people while making sure people feel supported, valued and able to do their best work.

I’m practical by nature and I like to keep things straightforward. I’ll happily get stuck into the detail when that’s what’s needed, but I also enjoy stepping back and looking at the bigger picture. Whether you need help with a tricky employee situation, are developing your leadership team, planning for growth or figuring out your wider people strategy, I’ll listen first, understand what’s going on and work with you to find a solution that makes sense for your business.

Over the years, I’ve built experience across organisational design, change, leadership development, talent and succession, culture, employee experience, workforce planning, coaching and organisational effectiveness. I’m CIPD Level 7 qualified and have worked with teams across the UK, EMEA and globally.

But qualifications and experience only tell part of the story. I think the best HR work comes from building good relationships, asking the right questions and being someone people can trust. I’m naturally curious, collaborative and straightforward, and I’m not afraid to roll my sleeves up and get stuck in.

A bit about me

I live in the Peak District with my husband, two children and our dog, so being outdoors is a big part of life when I’m not working. I love the space, the fresh air and the fact that there’s always a good walk on the doorstep, although getting everyone out of the house for one is sometimes easier said than done!

Moorland HR grew out of a simple idea: that businesses deserve experienced HR support without the corporate jargon, complicated solutions or feeling that you need to speak “HR” to get help.

That’s why my approach is down-to-earth, personal and practical. You get me, someone with 20 years of experience who genuinely enjoys what she does and cares about helping people and businesses thrive.
