2026 isn’t playing small. And neither are we.
I’ve known Caroline Daniel 🪩 since 2014. We’ve collaborated, supported each other, and cheered each other on through over a decade of building our businesses. So when the stars quietly aligned and brought us back together this year, it felt less like a business decision and more like the obvious next step.
Introducing Clear People — Caroline Daniel (Clear HR) and I (Emily Perry, The People Consultancy) joining forces and pooling our combined resources, expertise, and networks to expand our reach and support more small and growing businesses across Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex, Somerset, and beyond. Together we can do more — more clients, more regions, more impact — without ever compromising on the quality and personal approach that our clients have come to rely on.
And the reason we’re doing it now couldn’t be more important.
The Employment Rights Act is here, and it’s not just a tweak. It’s structural change that every SME needs to take seriously.
More cost. More exposure. More scrutiny.
And if your processes aren’t tight, your managers aren’t ready, or your approach to HR is loose… this will bite.
Between us, we have decades of experience. We know what it’s like to lie awake at 3am wondering if you’re doing the right thing by your people — and your business. We’ve supported founders through first hires, difficult exits, complex ER cases, restructures, and everything in between.
What you won’t get from us: legal jargon, unnecessary services, or a one-size-fits-all approach.
What you will get: clear, human HR support that keeps you compliant, reduces your risk, and helps you handle people challenges with confidence — so you can get back to running your business.
Our clients call us “totally dependable,” “an extension of our business,” and “easy to deal with, with a real-world approach.”
That’s exactly what we aim to be.
We’ve already got 60 SME founders joining our webinar and seminar next week to get ahead of ERA25 — and enquiries are already coming in.
