HR problems can feel complicated.

We make them easier.

Running a small business is a lot. Between keeping customers happy, managing the day to day, and trying to grow, HR can easily end up at the bottom of the pile, until suddenly it’s not. A policy you don’t have. A difficult conversation you’ve been putting off. A question about holiday entitlement, probation, or a grievance that’s landed out of nowhere.

That’s where we come in.

Led by Chanelle, a CIPD-qualified HR consultant based in Cheshire, we work with small businesses across the region and further afield who want HR support that’s genuinely helpful: not full of jargon, not a tick box exercise, and never something that makes you feel silly for asking. We’ve supported businesses through everything from writing their very first employee handbook to managing complex casework, and we still get a real sense of satisfaction from taking something messy and making it clear.

Core Connect

Core Connect is our monthly HR membership, built for small businesses who want proper support on tap, not just when something’s gone wrong.

It’s the closest thing to having an in-house HR person, without the in-house price tag, giving you the confidence to know you’ve always got someone to call.

For £100 a month, here’s what you get

  • Regular HR check-ins, so there’s always a dedicated time to talk through what’s on your mind
  • A full library of ready to use documents and templates, covering contracts, policies, letters and more
  • Legal updates sent straight to you, so you’re never caught out when employment law changes
  • A direct line to Chanelle, for the questions that come up in between check-ins
  • 10% off any other HR support you need from us, if something bigger comes up

Real People, Real Results

  • It felt like having an in-house HR team.

    “The team at Core has been instrumental in helping us build our HR foundations from scratch. Their support was clear, practical, and completely fit our needs: it felt like having an in-house HR team.”
