Something VERY exciting is happening behind the scenes… 👀👀👀

30/10/2026

What a night at the WES Awards! 🩷🥂

Incredible talent, ambition, inspiring businesses and outstanding speakers! And what a privilege to share the evening with 20 amazing Highland women. The Highlands certainly showed up! 🥂

I didn’t take home Startup Business of the Year, but just seven months into my We Are Thryve journey, being a finalist amongst such brilliant businesses is something I’m hugely proud of. Seven months! 🤯

A real highlight was watching my wonderful friends at Working With Me® pick up the Business to Watch award! 🏆

Jill and Lyndsey are doing incredible things, and seeing their hard work recognised was just brilliant. It’s a privilege to work alongside them and call them friends. 🩷

Huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists. What a celebration of Scottish women in business!

Feeling inspired, grateful and just a little tired! 😂🥂

It might be blowing a hoolie in the Highlands today, but tomorrow we’re heading to (hopefully!) sunnier Glasgow! ☀️😂

We’re off to Hampden for the Scottish Marketing Summit, exhibiting alongside the amazing Working with Me! 🙌

Looking forward to meeting new faces, catching up with familiar ones and seeing what other Scottish businesses are up to!

👀 We’ll be demoing our new THRYVE platform, combining real-world HR expertise with innovative technology to make managing people simpler, smarter and more accessible.

💬 Got questions about the Employment Rights Act 2025 and what the changes mean for your business? Come and have a chat!

If you’re heading along, pop by our stand and say hello!

See you at Hampden! 💗

15 years of HR experience. Chartered MCIPD. Surely that’s enough to run your own HR consultancy?

Well, apparently that’s only half the job! 😂

The other half? Business development, networking, marketing, pitching, pricing and keeping the pipeline moving.

And bloody hell, there’s a lot to it!

I’ve run businesses before, but building one independently is a completely different experience.

I’m learning, adapting and absolutely loving the variety that comes with running We Are Thryve.

One thing I’ve learned? Surround yourself with good people, including other HR consultants. Collaboration is far more valuable than competition. 🩷

Being good at what you do and building a sustainable business around it are two very different skills!

Wednesday was my first ever BNI feature presentation, and I was a little nervous!

Not about the HR bit, but because I decided to share my own story.

The short version:

💇‍♀️ Left school at 15
✂️ Qualified as a hairdresser at 16, eventually becoming HOD on P&O’s Ventura
🎓 Returned to education, diagnosed with dyslexia and gained a business degree
🏡 Worked alongside Mum and my brother in our family care homes, eventually becoming an owner
💔 In 2022, both homes went into administration. I was made redundant, five months pregnant.

It was tough, but it shaped everything I do today.

I’ve sat on every side of the HR table: employee, manager, business owner and the person being made redundant.

I know what’s at stake when you’re the one signing the payroll.

And that’s exactly why I built We Are Thryve. 💗

A huge thank you to BNI Tuath for the warm welcome and lovely write-up!

If you know a business that needs practical, commercially realistic HR support, I’d love an introduction.

Coffee and cake are on me! ☕🍰

A little “Meet the Member” feature!

A huge thank you to Inverness Chamber of Commerce for featuring me and We Are Thryve in their latest publication.

The support, connections and opportunities the Chamber has provided throughout my first year in business have been incredible.

It’s been quite a journey so far.

Back to my desk this week after a fantastic week last week! ☕

Working with some brilliant clients, making new connections down in Southampton and coming away from the Elevate HR Wellbeing event with plenty to think about.

Am I tired? Yes. 😂
Is my business Thryving? Absolutely! 💗

Anyway, enough about my travels. Back to HR, because October is bringing some important changes!

With Christmas parties just around the corner (yes, I said it! 🎄), it’s a timely reminder that employers need to be thinking about how they prevent sexual harassment at work.

These are conversations we should already be having, regardless of the time of year.

But with further changes coming into force on 30 October 2026, now is a particularly important time to review your approach.

From 30 October, the duty to prevent sexual harassment is being strengthened, with employers expected to take ALL reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

There’s also a new duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent third-party harassment. That means considering the risks posed by customers, clients, suppliers and others your employees might encounter through their work.

And this isn’t just about having a policy tucked away in your employee handbook.

So, what should employers be thinking about?

✅ Risk assessments – Have you considered where sexual harassment risks might arise, including work-related social events?

✅ Training – Have your managers and employees received meaningful, relevant training?

✅ Policies and procedures – Are they up to date, accessible and understood by your team?

✅ Reporting concerns – Do employees know how to raise concerns, and are managers confident handling them?

✅ Third parties – Have you considered the risks posed by customers, clients, suppliers and others your employees interact with?

The Christmas party might be one evening, but your responsibilities as an employer don’t switch off when everyone leaves the office.

And remember, compliance isn’t simply about ticking boxes. It’s about creating a workplace where people feel safe, respected and confident to speak up.

Here’s to another busy week! ☕

Building businesses alongside incredible women is one thing.

But building them alongside women who have seen every chapter, every version of you? That’s something really special. ❤️

Two very different businesses.
Two very different industries.
But two women building something we’re both incredibly passionate about.

Last week, we had the opportunity to spend some proper time together.

We talked strategy, growth, the big ideas, the worries, the wins and everything in between.

We challenged each other, shared perspectives and probably put the world to rights a few times over. 😂

Because the thing about running your own business is that you don’t always have someone sitting beside you to bounce ideas off.

And sometimes you just need someone who gets it. The excitement, the uncertainty, the challenges and the determination to make it work.

But what makes this friendship particularly special is that it existed long before either of our businesses did.

We’ve seen each other through different chapters of life. And now we get to cheer each other on through this one.

Different businesses. Shared ambition. And a friendship that’s been there through it all.

And, of course, there was plenty of prosecco, good food, laughter and a spa afternoon thrown in too. 🥂❤️

Surround yourself with people who celebrate your wins, listen to your worries and remind you how far you’ve come. Steban’s Hair Studio

Just a reminder that not every 24 hours looks the same!

We don’t all have the “same” 24 hours

Amazing what you can fit in without your four-year-old boss keeping tabs on you! 😂❤️

W**e with a friend last night 🍷
Gym this morning 💪

Now for the Elevate HR Wellbeing event! ✨
