Fractional Strategic HR
Acting as a part-time HR Director, embedded in your leadership team, attending key meetings, and taking accountability
for the delivery of the people agenda.
All the strategic leadership of a senior hire without the fixed costs.
Culture and Organisational Design
How your organisation is structured and what it values
shapes everything - how decisions are taken, how people treat each other,
and whether the best people stay.
I help you design that intentionally rather than created by chance.
People Development and Mentoring
Skills, confidence, and career growth don't happen by accident.
I work with individuals and teams to build capability
- through mentoring and structured programmes
that create sustainable change.

"Andrew served on the Trustee Board for South East Scotland Scouts between 2019 and 2023 and headed up our People Committee, providing his expertise as an HR professional to identify and implement processes that would help us manage our risks associated with employing and hiring staff in a number of capacities.
Andrew went above and beyond his remit to help us through the Covid pandemic which proved to be a very challenging time. Andrew's personality and style meant he fitted in well with the volunteer group and he always presented himself as calm, confident and reassuring.
His sense of humour too, contributed to him being a very approachable member of the team and we would welcome him back anytime".
John Cannon, Regional Chair, South East Scotland Scouts

Dougal appeared in a lot of my training materials (and still does).
He was a Spaniel trapped inside a Lab's body and was a real character.
Handsome fella too!
German Bier has always been a passion of mine and my Top 3 German biers are:
- Augustiner Helles Lagerbier
- Hacker Pschorr Weissbier
- Weihenstephan Weissbier
They definitely taste even better with Brez'n (Pretzels) and a variety of sausages with Senf (mustard).
