The Person Behind Haddon HR


I have spent years in the thick of people challenges, managing recruitment for national contracts, guiding teams through performance issues and restructures, and handling everything in between.


Before launching Haddon HR, I led the HR function for two growing businesses, taking one from 20 to 100+ employees through rapid growth and acquisition. I was the first point of contact for everything people-related: onboarding, disciplinaries, strategic planning, compliance - if it involved people, it landed on my desk. I am now CIPD Level 5 qualified, bringing professional standards.


The truth is, I have been doing HR long before it was ever my official job title. In every leadership and operational role I have held, people management and support have always been at the centre. I understand how people think and behave, and I know how quickly things can spiral when the right guidance is not in place.


That is why my approach is clear, structured and legally sound - so you can manage with confidence instead of second-guessing every decision.


I do not believe in off-the-shelf advice or drowning business owners in jargon. I believe in solid processes, straightforward support and helping leaders do things properly, without all the unnecessary noise.


Haddon HR was created to give business owners reassurance, protection and a trusted partner they can rely on when people matters become complex.


I am based in Burgess Hill and work with businesses throughout the UK.


How We Work

  • Straight-talking: No jargon, no corporate speak. Just clear advice you can actually use.
  • People-first: Every decision starts with understanding the human impact, not just the legal risk.
  • Practical:  We focus on real-world solutions that work in your business, not textbook theory.
  • Supportive: We are here to guide you through tricky situations, not judge how you got there.


What Makes Us Different

  • Real experience scaling businesses -  We have taken companies from 20 to 100+ employees through growth and acquisition, not just advised from the sidelines
  • One person, from start to finish - No account managers, no junior consultants. Consistent, personal support from someone who knows your business

  • Real-world business experience - We have run operations, managed teams, and understand P&L pressure. We get that HR decisions have to work commercially, not just legally.
