The Story behind APHR

The idea for APHR wasn't born in a corporate tower, but from the real-world challenges faced by businesses like yours. We saw start-ups juggling HR alongside everything else, family run companies, struggling with complex employment law, and growing companies needing strategic people management, all without the budget for a large in-house team.

We realised that every business, from 2 employees to 250, deserves access to expert HR support. That's why we created APHR: to provide scalable, affordable, and practical HR solutions tailored to your specific needs. We're not just about compliance; we're about helping you build a thriving workplace where your people are empowered and your business can flourish.

We specialise in HR support for small and medium sized businesses with no in-house HR. But we also work with larger organisations that need outsourced HR services for projects or complex cases.

Our clients include:

• Start-ups and SMEs looking to get the HR basics in place
• Family-run businesses dealing with staff issues
• Office and operations managers who wear the HR hat
• Business owners managing HR alongside everything else
• Established HR teams who need flexible, on-call help
   

Whatever stage your business is at, we tailor our advice and tools to match.

We keep HR simple and flexible for our clients.

• One-off advice or ongoing support—you choose
• No retainers unless it adds value
• Remote and on-site options available
• Transparent pricing and no hidden costs
   

Whether it’s help with contracts, policies, disciplinary meetings, grievances, or performance management, we’ve got you covered.

We also offer full HR audits, Right to Work checks, and ensuring you stay out of a tribunal, but help preparing for employment tribunal risks if they arise.

We built APHR on five core principles:
