About
People-focused manager with over 12 years' experience leading teams of up to 43 people across food, retail and logistics environments. Long before formalising this path, I was already doing the work of Employee Relations: resolving conflicts, managing difficult conversations, and making the calls that keep teams fair, safe and functioning. I recently completed my CIPD Level 5 (self-funded, in six months) to formalise what I've been doing hands-on throughout my career, combining strong operational management with hands-on experience across disciplinaries, grievances and investigations. Alongside this, I've also been gaining hands-on exposure to recruitment, supporting
candidate sourcing and outreach — giving me a broader view of the full employee lifecycle. I'm now looking to make my transition into a full-time HR role official, with a focus on Employee Relations.
