About LighterHR

We help SME leaders across the UK with clear, practical HR solutions, bringing the human judgment and advice that no AI or template can match

Our Story

Since 2010, LighterHR has been a trusted SME HR partner, helping small and medium-sized businesses thrive by keeping HR simple, practical, and human.

We know running a business isn’t just about policies or compliance, it’s about people. So, from resolving tricky employee issues to building performance frameworks, recruiting new talent, or provide a full HR outsourcing service, we bring clarity and calm to your organisation.

Our Beliefs

  • HR advice should be clear and commercial. Our advice must protect your business while supporting your goals.
  • Every SME deserves access to expert HR support. Not every business can afford in-house HR support but, every business should be able to access the help they need when they need it.
  • Human problems need human solutions. No template or AI can provide the insight into employee behaviour that an HR professional can offer.

What Makes Us Different

We’re a sounding board, not just a service.
Our clients often call us about more than HR because they know they’ll get honest, practical advice they can trust.

Plain speaking, no jargon.
We turn complex HR and employment law into simple, actionable guidance.

Human judgment when it matters most.
AI can draft templates, policies and contracts—but only experience can guide you through the emotions of a complex people process.

The full spectrum of HR support.
From everyday outsourced HR to high-stakes employee relations, we offer a complete service designed for SMEs.

Our Team

Our consultants are CIPD-qualified and SME-experienced. Clients tell us we’re approachable, easy to talk to, and quick to cut through complexity. We pride ourselves on being the people you call when you need answers—not jargon.
