Hi, I'm Jo. When I left school, I wanted to be a fashion designer (I can be quite creative and artistic!). In between leaving school and planning to start college, I didn't want to sit around at home doing nothing and so applied for a fair few full-time jobs without much luck. I was working as a student with Morrisons Supermarkets at the time and decided to apply for an Assistant Manager's position and guess what - I got it! A line manager at the young age of 17!

I spent a few years in Managerial roles, undergoing management training and working in different areas of the store (I have even tried my hand at fishmongering and butchery during training) and eventually quite liked the idea of being in Personnel (as HR was known back then). After interviewing with the Regional HR Director, I was put onto their fast-track programme and 3 months in, appointed as Store Personnel Manager.

Since then, I have been involved in Human Resources in a variety of capacities for nearly 15 years and have experienced the good, the bad and, on occasion, the ugly!
I have had the privilege of working with the likes of British Airways, ISS Facility Services, Coventry & Warwickshire NHS, Imperial College NHS London, The RAF and Army and most recently Ash & Lacy, an engineering and manufacturing company. Going into business for myself recently, I have had the opportunity to deliver HR services to companies involved in I.T. and Network Infrastructure, Catering & Bar supplies, Charities, Legal Services, Council Authorities and subsidiary companies.

All of these businesses have people problems now and again. Sometimes, they need support to either execute a process, or focus on improving a particular process of employment, such as recruitment, onboarding (induction), performance management, or terminations in their various guises!

I am passionate about ensuring these things are done as effectively as possible and in the most positive way for all involved. I advise on different courses of action and what the potential risks could be so that business owners and executives can make well informed decisions for their business.

If I can be of any help, please call me on 07535 162268.
