HR firm expands with acquisition

HR Solutions, which provides outsourced HR services to small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UK, is expanding its reach across the Midlands with the acquisition of Cherington HR, a human resources consultancy in Worcester.

The acquisition is the company’s fourth over the past six years. In 2015 HR Solutions merged with Business Human Resources Solutions, followed by the acquisition of HR Services (UK) in 2017 and then the addition of Crispin Rhodes last year.

Cherington HR is an award-winning consultancy providing affordable and pragmatic people management services tailored to businesses of all sizes.

Greg Guilford, CEO of HR Solutions, said: “I am really excited about the addition of Cherington HR as Helen Astill is an exceptional HR professional and we are keen to have her as part of our growing team. They operate in a similar manner to HR Solutions, putting their clients at the heart of all they do.

“Cherington HR has a strong client base, and we are looking forward to continuing to provide excellent HR support to them as part of HR Solutions.

“Bringing Helen and her company into HR Solutions further enhances the geographical reach of our HR consultancy across the Midlands.”

Cherington HR clients will now benefit from a wider service offering and extensive additional experienced staff.

Helen Astill, Managing Director at Cherington HR, added: “I am delighted to be joining HR Solutions. They share the passion for service excellence that has been at the heart of Cherington HR’s success, and feedback from my clients on the news of this change has been overwhelmingly positive.”

With a head office in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and bases in Milton Keynes and Birmingham, HR Solutions operates in a variety of industries and has a client list that ranges from small care agencies to multi-national technology firms.
