We’re not your average East Midlands HR consultancy!

We’re a multi-award winning 5-star rated team of friendly and down-to-earth CIPD-qualified HR consultants. We provide outsourced HR support and employment law consultancy for growing businesses in Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and the surrounding East Midlands area. But we’ve got a few things that make us different from the average HR consultancy.

We pride ourselves on the personal service we deliver to employers. No anonymous telephone helpdesks or generic document databases here. Just proper face-to-face HR support from down-to-earth approachable people with actual names. People who you can get to know and trust, and who can be relied on to be there to provide practical assistance and a non-judgemental friendly face whenever things aren’t going so well. People who in turn can really get to know you and your business, and so fully understand how best to help you achieve your goals. HR support like it should be.

What local businesses say about our outsourced HR support services

Professional, sensitive and practical

“We were recently referred to use Loates HR Consultancy and have been pleased with Matilda’s professional, sensitive and practical approach to her HR advice to support us with our HR and employee queries.”

Fiona Hathorn
Director

Always on hand to help

Loates HR and especially Matilda have supported us through a complicated TUPE process. I had the pleasure of working alongside Matilda to get the process initiated and safely over the line, she was an absolute godsend! Always professional, positive and supportive – I know I’d have struggled without her. So thank you for all your help and guidance.

Kate Gillespie
Director of Housing

Excellent, flexible and accessible support for a growing charity

Trent Rivers Trust has been working with Loates for nearly a year. They have steered us through an update of HR policies and a re-organisation process as well as being there to talk through a number of HR related issues. For a small growing charity without internal HR, their support has been hugely beneficial to me as a CEO navigating my organisation through a number of HR tasks and issues. I have found the Loates team to be available, clear in their advice and providing what I have asked for quickly and professionally. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Loates to other organisations similar to mine.

Matthew Easter
Chief Executive Officer

Most professional, excellent service

“I found Sarah from Loates HR Consultancy to be most professional from the start of her intervention until the end. Sarah made a difficult situation as simple and straightforward as possible for me as the owner of a small/medium sized business with limited HR resources and experience. The level of anxiety for me and my team was reduced by Sarah’s intervention which was fair to all parties whilst safeguarding the business within the realms of employment law. I would recommend Sarah and her company to any employer who needs HR representation, advice and support. Sarah can be relied upon and I will certainly be using her excellent service should the need arise in the future.”

Zoe Reynolds
Owner

Extremely efficient and quick to respond

“We have been working with Loates HR Consultancy and with Gill Phillips in particular, on a range of projects over the past couple of years. We have always found them to be very welcoming and are always committed to meeting our requirements. We have found them to be extremely efficient and quick to respond and we have been delighted with the overall result.”

Russell Goodway
Chief Executive

Responsive and professional

“I have known Sarah and the team at Loates HR Consultancy for six months and during this time Sarah and her team have played an integral part in supporting us in our HR function. Sarah took time to quickly understand our business and developed a plan to review key documents. The team at Loates have provided their support and services to our charity on a pro bono basis, which we are especially grateful for as it is a challenge for us as a charity to buy in this specific function, although it is key to the professional running of the charity. The team are responsive and professional and we hope to have their continued support and expertise for the foreseeable future.”
