Kay Heald is a qualified personnel practitioner and Chartered Member of the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).She has over 15 years business experience: advising, guiding, helping, training and developing people in a wide range of organisations from the private, public and voluntary sectors.
Kay is an experienced HR consultant, whose client base includes family businesses, partnerships, consultancies, manufacturers and community-based organisations.
Kay believes strongly that good people management makes good business sense, but she also knows first hand that managing people ‘well’ takes time and effort.
She doesn’t just have the qualifications, she has the broad brush experience that makes it possible to see things from different viewpoints, guiding employers and their people through the employment maze - together.
Whilst working for a London HR consultancy Kay developed her interest in specifically helping small businesses with their personnel needs:interpreting relevant aspects of employment legislation; providing practical and cost effective solutions to their problems; building long term working relationships with managers and their staff and giving busy directors timely guidance, support and training.
Kay moved to Shropshire in 2002 and now runs her own successful consultancy, working exclusively with small organisations to help meet all their employment needs and take away the worry of HR.
