Running a business is hard enough without having to become an HR expert as well.
Whether you’re a small business in Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire, an established company elsewhere across the East or West Midlands, or a growing organisation anywhere in the UK, having access to the right HR support can make managing your people considerably easier.
Adept HR Services has a local presence between Hinckley and Nottingham, meaning we can provide face-to-face support across the Midlands where it’s useful.
But we’re not limited by geography.
We support businesses nationally through a combination of face-to-face and remote HR support, so you can access the expertise you need wherever you’re based.
You don’t need an HR department. You just need the right HR support behind you.
Your people don’t always come with a handbook
When you’re running a business, employee issues rarely arrive at a convenient time.
Someone goes off sick.
An employee raises a grievance.
A performance issue isn’t improving.
You need to recruit quickly.
A manager isn’t sure how to deal with a difficult situation.
Or you suddenly realise your contracts and policies haven’t been reviewed for a while.
These things can take up valuable time and, if they’re not handled properly, create unnecessary risk for your business.
You don’t necessarily need someone sitting in your office five days a week to deal with them.
You just need someone experienced to turn to when they happen.
That’s where outsourced HR support can make a real difference.
Why use an external HR consultant?
For many small and growing businesses, employing a full-time HR professional simply doesn’t make commercial sense.
You might not have enough work to justify a permanent HR role.
That doesn’t mean you don’t need HR expertise.
An external HR consultant gives you access to professional support when you need it, without the cost and commitment of building a full internal HR function.
That could mean:
- A quick conversation before you make a difficult decision.
- Support with an employee who isn’t performing.
- Help managing sickness absence.
- Guidance through a disciplinary or grievance.
- Reviewing your contracts and policies.
- Support with recruitment and onboarding.
- A complete HR health check.
- Ongoing monthly HR support.
- Help with a specific HR project.
You get the expertise without having to employ the department.
HR support for businesses across the Midlands
Our local presence means we are well placed to support businesses across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and the wider East and West Midlands.
That includes businesses in and around areas such as Leicester, Hinckley, Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough, Coventry, Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
But we don’t stop there.
Adept HR Services operates nationally.
If you’re based elsewhere in the UK, we can provide HR advice, support and project work remotely, with face-to-face support available where appropriate.
So whether you’re looking for an HR consultant in Leicester, HR support in Nottingham, outsourced HR in the Midlands or ongoing HR support anywhere in the UK, our approach remains the same.
Practical HR. Clear advice. No unnecessary jargon.
What can we help with?
HR covers a lot more than contracts and policies.
We can support you across the employee lifecycle, from the moment you decide to recruit someone through to managing more complex employee relations issues.

Ongoing support
Sometimes you don’t need a project.
You just need someone you can pick up the phone to.
Our outsourced HR support can provide your business with ongoing access to HR expertise, giving you somewhere to turn when an employee issue arises.
Local when you need us. National when you need us.
Being local means we can provide face-to-face support when it adds value.
We can visit your workplace, meet with managers, understand your business and help you deal with issues in person.
But we also know that not every HR problem needs someone sitting across the desk from you.
A quick call, email or video meeting can often give you exactly what you need.
That’s why we don’t believe geography should limit the support you receive.
Whether you’re five miles away or 200 miles away, you get the same practical, people-focused approach.
HR support designed around your business
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to HR.
A business with five employees won’t have the same requirements as a company with 50.
A care provider won’t have the same HR needs as a manufacturer.
And a growing business may need completely different support six months from now.
That’s why we don’t believe in selling businesses more HR than they need.
You can use Adept HR Services for a specific issue, an individual project or ongoing support.
We can help you put the right foundations in place, deal with problems when they arise and give your managers the confidence to manage their people effectively.
The aim is simple: to make HR easier for you.
You don’t need an HR department to have great HR support
You don’t need someone working for you 40 hours a week.
You don’t need to spend your evenings trying to decipher employment law.
And you don’t need to wait until something goes wrong before asking for help.
You just need access to the right support when your business needs it.
Adept HR Services provides practical HR support to businesses across the East and West Midlands and nationally throughout the UK, helping business owners and managers deal with the people side of their business with confidence.
Local presence. National reach. Practical HR support.
