Director

What's Your Role?

I am a Director at People Management Solutions with over 20 years of HR Consultancy experience working at senior levels of businesses in the private, public and not-for profit sectors. This has proved invaluable in advising clients on ensuring legislative compliance and minimising the exposure to litigation, whilst understanding commercial realities.

Outline Your Experience

I bring a wealth of experience in managing many complex HR issues and am instrumental in leading change and bringing new initiatives to our clients. I have extensive experience of advising on employee relations issues as well as delivering outsourced HR solutions. I am a trained Investigator and investigate all types of disciplinaries and grievances in the workplace. I have led downsizing, restructure and redundancy projects across all levels. Over the last 25 years I have also enjoyed the design and delivery of learning and development programmes in the full range of HR and employment law topics.

What makes you different?

I am known for providing advice which is decisive, pragmatic and effective. I really do enjoy the variety in my job! At any given time, I could be conducting interviews (I was an Independent Assessor for Public Appointments), advising on a variety of HR issues, leading on a restructuring project or conducting a workplace investigation. My personal attributes and experience have helped People Management Solutions in becoming one of Northern Ireland’s foremost HR consultancies.

When you’re not at work, where might we find you?

I enjoy travel whether that’s exploring new places abroad or finding favourites closer to home with my family. I’ve practised Pilates for more than two decades and I recently added swimming to my routine as a new personal challenge. Outside of family life with our teenage daughter, I dedicate time to volunteering with local charities and supporting causes that matter to me.
