More about me

I am an experienced HR consultant based in Pembrokeshire, offering practical and strategic HR support to organisations across west Wales and beyond. With more than 25 years in HR and organisational development, I help employers navigate people management, compliance, governance and business growth with confidence.

My career began in London at Anheuser-Busch and Sotheby’s, gaining broad generalist HR experience. I studied for my MSc in HR Management in 2002 and have been a CIPD member since 2000.

In 2003 I moved to Pembrokeshire and established an HR consultancy supporting SMEs throughout Wales, later becoming an Investors in People specialist and a Chartered Manager.

I have worked across a wide range of sectors—including professional services, tourism, charities, and the highly regulated social care sector. My roles have included leading HR and operations for a global civil-society alliance with colleagues in 15 countries, and developing a full HR function and pay & grading structure for a leading Welsh social care group.

Clients value my mix of technical expertise, hands-on experience, sector knowledge and clear, straightforward communication. I specialise in building practical HR systems, policies and processes; improving organisational culture; and supporting managers who need confident, empathetic HR guidance.

I am based in Dale, Pembrokeshire, where my family and I also run Point Farm Campsite. I work with organisations across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and wider Wales, as well as delivering remote HR consultancy to clients further afield and internationally.

Experience

My career has taken me into a wide variety of sectors: arts and culture, healthcare, engineering, FMCG, manufacturing, energy, international development, marine and fisheries, social care, charities, social enterprises, tourism and hospitality. I enjoy working in new environments and adapting HR practice to suit different organisational cultures and challenges.

I’ve also held global director-level responsibilities, which has given me experience of managing international teams and dealing with the complexities of employing people across multiple countries.

Although HR is at the heart of what I do, my work has increasingly crossed over into organisational design, governance, leadership and management, operations, budgeting, financial planning, marketing, communications and safeguarding. This breadth helps me bring a holistic, practical perspective to the organisations I support.
