HR Champions Ltd, a leading provider of HR services and leadership and management training and development in the region, announces the transfer of its HR support division to the highly respected Gloucestershire-based consultancy, HR People Support.
Effective from Wednesday 27 November 2024, the acquisition sees HR People Support taking over the delivery of HR services for HR Champions' existing clients, allowing HR Champions to focus on the continued growth and development of its core training offerings.
Following a strategic review, the company has chosen to concentrate its future efforts on further developing its training provision, while ensuring its HR clients continue to receive the highest quality support by transitioning them to HR People Support.
HR People Support, led by Sarah Cook and co-owner Gemma Irvine, is a well-established consultancy known for its expertise in navigating businesses through HR challenges, employment law changes, and people management strategies.
The company has built a strong reputation for delivering tailored
HR solutions that align with each business's unique goals.
The shift comes after more than 20 years of HR Champions supporting businesses across the region with a variety of HR and training services and strengthens both companies, while ensuring they are better positioned to meet the evolving needs of local companies.
This partnership represents a positive step forward for both firms, as they work together to support the region’s business community in navigating the challenges of today’s economy.
