About Us

Straightforward, reliable HR support designed around your business and your people.

Where it all began

When a teacher wrote on my school report "Julia tackles her work with zeal and determination" little did they know the influence those few written words would have.

Someone who has zeal is not just interested - they are fully invested with a positive, determined attitude and I have the same essence now as I did then . Get in touch today to see how we can bring this zeal into your organisation.
