Outsourced HR Support in Derby

Ay up me duck!

We’ve been around as a company since 2011, with our founders having been based in Derby for over 20 years. We’ve seen the amazing changes that the city has undergone since then, and are proud to be part of its future. Most of our clients are based in Derby and the surrounding East Midlands area, and many of them are only a stone’s throw away from us.

We’re a multi-award winning team of HR consultants in Derby

We provide local outsourced HR support for Derby businesses

And we really are local. With a proper office. Not a ‘virtual office’. Not a distant call-centre in some far-away place. We’re not just a website, a collection of document templates, or an anonymous voice on the phone. We’re actual people who want to meet you face-to-face, so we can properly get to know you and your business.

Our office is conveniently located at the scenic and historically interesting World Heritage site of Darley Abbey Mills, not far from Derby city centre. That’s it in the picture. Nice, huh?

Which means we’re readily available to support those HR issues that can only be dealt with in person. And since we have our own private meeting rooms at our office, it means we can have sensitive discussions with you away from your normal place of work. Being able to meet offsite helps protect the privacy of individual employees involved in personal issues, such as disciplinaries or grievances, and helps prevent rumours spreading in relation to company-wide issues such as redundancies or TUPEs.

So, if you’re looking for outsourced HR support in Derby you’re welcome to just pop in when you’re passing. Or we’re equally happy to come over to your place. Or even meet online. Whatever works best for you.

We’re the top rated outsourced HR support provider in Derby

We’ve grown from a single-person business operating from home, to a multi-award winning company with offices and a whole team of HR consultants and employment law experts. We’ve diversified into HR training, workplace wellbeing, and are currently developing additional sister brands, so that we can help you with a whole package of people-related support.

Which means we can offer you the stability of an established company, the credibility of one with a history of local clients, and the capability of one that’s grown beyond the one-person stage. You can be fully confident that we’re able to deliver what we promise, and can trust that we’ll reliably be there in the future when you need help.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and in particular, the reputation we’ve established within the local business community.

If you’re a Derby-based business looking for outsourced HR support, the chances are you already know someone that we’ve worked with. So go on, just ask them what we’re like!

“I have known Sarah and the team at Loates HR Consultancy for six months and during this time Sarah and her team have played an integral part in supporting us in our HR function. Sarah took time to quickly understand our business and developed a plan to review key documents. The team at Loates have provided their support and services to our charity on a pro bono basis, which we are especially grateful for as it is a challenge for us as a charity to buy in this specific function, although it is key to the professional running of the charity. The team are responsive and professional and we hope to have their continued support and expertise for the foreseeable future.”

I have found the team at Loates to be nothing short of brilliant. I always get a really quick response to emails and the tone is always calm and confident, which immediately makes me feel better about whatever HR drama has cropped up in my day.
Their in-person support at meetings is invaluable. I’m sure they have seen it all before, but they make us feel that whatever is going on at our company really matters to their company.
If the person I normally deal with is not available, any of the team are able to pick up the issue and continue the excellent level of service, which suggests really good in-house communication.
I’m a bit scared to think that we used to run our company without the support of Loates – what were we doing?!?
