Everything an independent HR consultant needs to run and scale a credible practice, without building it all yourself.
Thousands of experienced HR professionals are leaving corporate roles for independent consulting, fractional leadership and portfolio careers. At the same time, SMEs want flexible people support, affordable expertise and lower fixed overheads. The demand is there. The hard part is everything around the HR work.
Building the business around it is. Right now, most independents end up in one of three places.
Isolation, patched-together systems and a fast route to burnout.
Expensive, restrictive and royalty-heavy.
Price competition, no differentiation and little to no support.
None of them give you structure without strings.
HR Practice Partner brings operational systems, consultancy infrastructure, an associate network, growth support and professional visibility into one ecosystem.
CRM, website builder and professional email, client newsletters and a full consultancy document toolkit. The operational backbone, ready to go.
Policies, templates, handbooks and workshop resources you can use with clients from day one.
Cohort training, newsletter templates, a sales and marketing playbook and an annual event. The know-how to win work and keep it.
Holiday cover, project teaming, specialist referrals and collaboration. The reach of a bigger firm without the headcount.
A listing in the Practice Partner directory, featured articles and speaking opportunities, so the right clients take you seriously.
We are assembling a panel of trusted support partners across the services you and your clients need. We do the legwork so you do not have to, and we choose people for fit, never for commission.

We built this so experienced HR professionals don't have to figure it all out alone. Collaboration over competition, always.
Practical support beats polished theory every time.
No fluff, no pretending it's easy, no overnight-success nonsense. Just real help from people who have actually done it.
Independence should create freedom, not burnout.
We want you building a business that fits the life you want, and that you are proud to put your name to.
When we add someone to the network, we pick people who genuinely work for our partners and their clients. Not because they pay us. Not because they are the easy or popular name. If they are not right for you, they are not in.
Both built on the same platform. Start where it suits you and grow into the rest.
The operational foundation to run a credible practice.
Everything in Core, plus the network and visibility to scale.
Around £5,500 of value a year. Founding partners get a preferential rate.
Typically with 8 or more years behind you, moving into consultancy or fractional work. You want independence without isolation and structure without restrictions. You are commercially ambitious but operationally stretched, you want to be taken seriously, and you may have looked at a franchise for the fast start without wanting the cost or the strings.
Join the waitlistHR Practice Partner started with a gap Dotty Day kept seeing: experienced HR professionals going independent, brilliant at the work, then losing months to building the business around it, alone. She and Grace Pariser had felt it themselves. So they built the thing they wish they had had. Practical infrastructure from people who have actually done the work, a network so no one has to go it alone, and a way of working that creates freedom rather than burnout.
Dotty spotted the gap and shaped the idea behind HR Practice Partner. An experienced HR professional specialising in transformational change.
Grace co-founded HR Practice Partner alongside Dotty. An experienced HR professional specialising in employee relations.
This is not about adding more stuff. It is the credibility and structure to build a serious consultancy, without doing it all yourself. We are opening a small founding group, so join the waitlist and we will be in touch before we open the doors more widely.
