Strategic Leadership for the New Era of Employment Relations

I am a dual-qualified Employment Lawyer and HR Director (FCIPD) with over 20 years of experience navigating the complexities of industrial relations, organizational change, and employment law. My career has been defined by moving beyond reactive case management to building proactive, strategic ER functions that add tangible value to the business and its stakeholders.

Currently based between Brighton and London, I am available for interim and permanent consultancy opportunities starting in Spring 2026. Whether you are seeking a root-and-branch transformation of your ER function or strategic advice on complex collective bargaining, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can work together.

Having led ER/IR functions for enterprise-level organizations like Dentsu Group, Royal Mail, and The Open University, I specialize in transforming union relationships and managing large-scale restructures during periods of significant transition. I am particularly passionate about “future-proofing” the workplace—whether that is preparing organizations for the Employment Rights Act 2026 or optimizing HR processes through the ethical integration of AI and automation.
