Vanessa Frampton – Horsham

Vanessa loves the fact that small businesses are often not tied down by bureaucracy and are often flexible and agile in their decision-making. She appreciates a “roll your sleeves up” environment (and mentality), which she demonstrates in how she works with clients!

Vanessa is keen to be a good role model for her teenage daughter, by growing a successful HR consultancy, and admires people who don’t shy away from the difficult or uncomfortable, and “tell it like it is”.

Outside work she runs a roller disco at the weekends, enjoys Zumba and is an accomplished ten pin bowler, all despite the fact that she once broke her ankle before a school PE lesson had even started just by coming out of the changing room...!

Introducing our free HRCheckup service – providing a comprehensive report to improve your HR policies and procedures

FREE HRCheckup

Not sure if your policies and procedures are up to date? Our HRCheckup service is for small and medium-sized businesses and is free to those without in-house HR support.

We’ll review all your current HR policies and procedures, provide a full written report and then discuss where your current documentation should be modified and suggest additional policies to ensure you are meeting your legal obligations at the very least, but also help you understand and address any HR vulnerabilities.

FACEit HR support service

FACEit is our annual retained service, providing peace of mind and unlimited access to expert advice and support from a named consultant who will be with you from day one and throughout the length of your agreement. FACEit is provided on a per employee, per month fee structure, which makes it very affordable to even very small employers.

Learn more about our FACEit service or download the FACEit brochure here:

Ad hoc and projects

If FACEit isn’t what you need immediately but you have an urgent HR concern, we can deliver advice via our ad hoc service. Even if you’re not sure you have an issue or are worried something could develop into a problem, we can advise on any number of concerns that come with being an employer. You’ll have access to a named consultant and advice is charged at the consultant’s standard hourly rate.

We also offer a full consultancy service on a range of employment matters from undertaking a TUPE transfer to implementing an employee benefits package. This service can also be provided on an ad hoc basis but for more specific, time-dependant activities, a project-based quote will be prepared by a named consultant.

Check our ad hoc and projects page for more information on all things people management related:

Fixed fee packages

If you’re looking to control your costs and don’t want the worry of your bill going up every time you have a query, you could take advantage of one of our fixed fee packages.

Our FACEforward package provides a comprehensive HR audit for small and medium-sized businesses, aligning HR strategies with broader business objectives. We thoroughly assess current HR procedures to enhance business goals and engage with your workforce to understand organisational culture and employee sentiment.

Our first employee package is for new employers to ensure they have all the basics in place for the new staff member.

Our redundancy package is for small business owners needing to make fewer than 20 redundancies.

Visit our fixed fee package page for more information on all of the above.
