Coast to Country HR provides calm, practical and people‑focused HR support for small businesses, charities and community organisations across East Devon.
With over 30 years’ experience in HR, I understand the realities of running a small business; the people challenges, the paperwork, and those moments that call for a steady, practical approach. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and now use it to support the small and local businesses that help our communities thrive.
Whether in person or remotely, I’m here to help with everything from onboarding and contracts to policies, people management and those tricky decisions and conversations giving employers confidence in their people decisions.
Having spent many years in a family business, I know how important it is to get HR right in a way that supports people and strengthens the business.
As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), I bring professional expertise and real world understanding to every conversation. I work alongside local employers to make sense of people management, helping them create workplaces where employees feel supported and valued.
My approach is friendly, down‑to‑earth and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking for one‑off advice, ongoing HR support or help building a more positive, compliant and confident workplace, Coast to Country HR offers guidance that’s clear, accessible and rooted in local community values.
I’m here to support you in looking after your people, so you can focus on running your business. You can expect clear, honest advice, a calm, non‑judgemental approach and practical solutions that make HR feel reassuring, not overwhelming.
I don’t just advise, I work with you to find solutions that fit your business and your people.
