Ongoing HR support and one-off HR advice for small businesses
Whether you need a single conversation to make a decision, a fixed-fee review of a tricky case, or someone on hand each month, Thrive HR UK gives you calm, experienced HR support without a big agency contract.
Tell me what’s happeningWhen you just need one good conversation
Sometimes you don’t need ongoing support — you need a clear answer on a specific situation. These are arranged after a short enquiry so I can make sure you book the right thing.
HR Advice Call
Talk a situation through and leave with a clear, practical view of your options and next steps.
Enquire about a call →HR Case Review
I look at the detail of a live issue and set out a sensible, defensible way forward.
Enquire about a review →Letter / process review
Before you send that letter or take that step, get a second pair of expert eyes on it.
Enquire about a review →These are arranged after a short enquiry — not booked through a public calendar. That way I can check you’re getting the most suitable (and best-value) support before anything is paid for.

Retained plans are advisory HR support, not outsourced case management. They give you experienced backup for everyday questions and decisions — not unlimited advice or ongoing legal compliance.
- • Unused calls and queries don’t roll over month to month.
- • Template library access is only while you’re subscribed.
- • Complex casework is quoted separately so you always know the cost.
Quoted separately (not included in a retainer):
These can all be quoted separately — just ask.
HR support — common questions
No. Plenty of clients only ever use one-off advice calls or case reviews. Retained plans are there if you want ongoing backup, but they are completely optional and start at a three-month minimum term.
Because the right next step is not always a call. A short enquiry lets me check what you actually need first. Sometimes a quick letter review or document build is better value than a call, so you do not pay for the wrong thing.
A focused question I can answer clearly in writing. For example, whether you can ask a candidate about something, or whether an absence trigger is reasonable. Anything that needs investigation, drafting or detailed case handling is quoted separately.
No. Each month’s calls and queries are for that month. This keeps the plans simple and the price low. If you need more in a busy month, additional support is available at a discounted rate.
I will tell you honestly and quote the extra work separately before doing anything. This may include an investigation, hearing support or redundancy process. You are always in control of the cost.
