Outsourced HR Support & Consultancy

Outsourced HR Support in Nottingham

We’re one of Nottingham’s top-rated HR support providers!

Team Loates

Ay up me duck!

We’ve been running our business in since 2011, with our founders having been based in the East Midlands for over 30 years. We’ve seen the amazing changes that the region has undergone since then, and are proud to be part of its future. Most of our clients are based in Nottingham, Derby, and the surrounding East Midlands area, and many of them are only a stone’s throw away from us.

We’ve grown from a single-person business operating from home, to a multi-award winning company with offices and a whole team of HR consultants and employment law experts. In addition, we’ve also diversified into management training, workplace wellbeing, and HR recruitment, so that we can now help you with a whole package of people-related support.

Which means we can offer you the stability of an established company, the credibility of one with an outstanding local reputation, and the capability of one that’s grown beyond the one-person stage. You can be fully confident that we’re able to deliver what we promise, and can trust that we’ll reliably be there in the future when you need help.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and in particular, the long-term relationships we’ve established within the local business community.

If you’re a Nottingham-based business looking for outsourced HR support, the chances are you already know someone that we’ve worked with. So go on, just ask them what we’re like!

Enjoyable training
“I really enjoyed yesterday, thank you”
Such a positive session
“I enjoyed it because it was such a positive session. I felt rejuvenated to deal with some the issues currently in play, so thank you!”
We were delighted with the results
“We have worked with Loates Recruitment for three separate recruitment campaigns. The team advised on a suitable selection process and designed and coordinated a full-day assessment centre to support recruiting our CEO. They provided a seamless candidate experience and managed the entire lifecycle from sifting to the offer stage. They are adept at stakeholder management and keep Trustees involved and updated. They were professional, responsive and easy to work alongside; we were delighted with the results.”

We provide HR support for Nottingham businesses

Which means we’re readily available to support all those HR issues that can only be dealt with in person. And since we have our own private meeting rooms at our office, it means we can have sensitive discussions with you away from your normal place of work. Being able to meet offsite helps protect the privacy of individual employees involved in personal issues, such as disciplinaries or grievances, and helps prevent rumours spreading in relation to company-wide issues such as redundancies or TUPEs.

We’re only a short distance from Nottingham, and easily reachable via major road and rail routes. And our office is fully accessible, with disability-friendly private facilities, and reserved free parking immediately outside.

So, if you’re looking for outsourced HR support in Nottingham you’re welcome to just pop in when you’re passing. Or we’re equally happy to come over to your place. Or even meet online. Whatever works best for you.

Already know what you want?

Great, let’s get to it!

Not sure exactly what you need?

No problem!

Our friendly and down-to-earth HR consultants will point you in the right direction. We’d love to have an informal chat to find out more about your business and so help you identify the areas most in need of attention.

We’re not after a quick sale, we’re all about building long-term relationships. In fact, we don’t even employ any sales people. Which means that right from the start you’ll be talking directly to someone who can actually help you.

We’re ready and waiting, so just get in touch!
