HR support that works

as hard as you do

Running a growing business is hard enough without HR keeping you up at night. Whether you're facing a difficult dismissal, need contracts and handbooks written properly, or just want someone experienced in your corner, Saltwater HR gives you straightforward, sensible HR support when you need it most.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Saltwater HR works with small and medium-sized businesses across West Sussex and the South Coast and throughout the UK. Our client's typically have teams of 5 to 50 people, and need proper HR support but aren't ready for a full-time HR manager.

If you're a business owner who wants to get HR right, stay legally compliant, and protect your business from costly mistakes, you're in the right place.

WHY SALTWATER HR

Getting HR wrong is expensive. A single unfair dismissal claim can cost thousands even if you win. Saltwater HR gives SMEs access to CIPD-qualified, employment law expertise on a fractional scale.

  • No long-term contracts or expensive retainers.

  • No sneaky extras or upselling for services you won't use.

  • Straightforward advice in plain English.

  • Fast response times because HR problems don't wait.

  • Based in Chichester, supporting businesses UK-wide.

As a small business, we know what it’s like to balance competing priorities while trying to grow. That’s why we offer a genuinely personal service; you’ll always deal with the same experienced consultant, not a revolving team or rigid package.

Practical, affordable HR consultancy for SMEs without the cost of an in-house team.
