Are you thinking about leaving corporate HR?

I did it after redundancy, with no plan and a mortgage to pay - and now I run a consultancy charging £1,000 a day.

I’m building something new for HR people who want to do the same. The steps that really matter: clients, pricing, set-up, insurance, business terms, outsourcing…

If you want to be the first to know when this launches, follow along.

I’ve seen some new followers recently, so thought I’d reintroduce myself! Hello!

Let’s skip the work stuff, if you’re anything like me you want to know about the person behind the business!

I am pretty decent at HR though if you were wondering…. ☺️

1 October 2026… and another couple of important employment law changes are now here!

If you employ or engage people, please don’t overlook these 👇

🔸Right to work checks now extend to certain gig-economy, zero-hours and individual subcontractor workers. If you use this type of labour, check your onboarding and subcontracting arrangements.

🔸Employment Tribunal time limits increase from 3 months to 6 months for most claims where the relevant event happens from today.

🔸And from 30th October: the duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment is strengthened, alongside new third-party harassment protections.

If you haven’t reviewed your position around these yet, now really is the time.

If you’re not sure where to start, get in touch - and we’ll get you on track!

Currently working on a project that’s right up my street… 💫

A bespoke management development programme - importantly, not something pulled off the shelf and given a new logo.

This is about really understanding the business, its people, its challenges and where it wants to go - then creating something that really fits them.

There’s something I love about working on projects like this.

You get to delve deep into a business, spend time with brilliant people, understand what makes them tick… and then get creative about how to turn all of that into development that is engaging, practical and (dare I say it) fun.

Because investing in your managers isn’t just about sending people on a course and ticking a box.

It’s about giving your people the confidence, skills and support to grow - and, ultimately, helping your business grow too.

And when a business is willing to make that investment? That’s when the really exciting work happens. 🙌

So, if you’re thinking about how to develop your managers and want something designed around your business, rather than something off the shelf, let me know!

Thinking about leaving corporate HR? I did it after redundancy, with no plan, no experience or running a business and a mortgage to pay. I now run a consultancy charging £1,000 a day.

I’m building something new for HR pros who want to do the same. Not a vanilla programme, just the steps that really matter: clients, pricing, set-up, insurance, terms, outsourcing.

As I mentioned in my stories, I won an award last week! After a busy weekend of birthdays and kittens I’ve only just had time to properly reflect.

At the Opendoorz 15th Anniversary celebration event, I was awarded the 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝.

To say I was shocked is an understatement - but I was and still am so, so pleased. And proud of myself!

It’s the first award that I’ve won since starting FARRELL HR - and what makes it special is that this award is voted for by fellow members.

I’m just coming up to a year of membership; and it means so much to me that fellow members see this value in me so much that I was voted the winner out of hundreds of other awesome business owners and leaders.

So what does this particular Opendoorz value mean?

“𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘻 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦. 𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢, 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵”

🥰

Well done and congratulations to my fellow award winners on the night!

And an extra special thank you to my wonderful Trinity Group colleagues, as well as Phil, Cathy, Caroline and Kate.

📷 thank you Lauren Cork:

Hello September 👋

Apparently we’re all meant to be feeling refreshed, organised and ready for a “fresh start” now.

We’re not sure who decided that…

September always feels a little bit like someone has pressed the reset button without actually checking whether we were finished with August first.

🔸The inbox is still full.
🔸The to-do list hasn’t magically disappeared.
🔸And there’s probably still a holiday washing pile lurking somewhere.

But there is something we do like about this time of year. Not the pressure to start again… but the chance to pause and think about what’s actually working.

🔸What needs a little attention?
🔸What have we been putting off?
🔸And most importantly, what can we stop making unnecessarily complicated?

That applies to work too.

September can be a good time to look at the things that have slipped down the priority list over the summer… your HR processes, policies, contracts, employee issues, or those jobs that have been living firmly in the “I’ll get to that” category.

No dramatic reinvention required, sometimes a bit of a tidy-up is enough.

So, September… let’s see what you’ve got.

What’s one thing you’d like to get sorted this month?
