Practical HR support for London businesses

MJV Consulting provides practical, commercially focused HR support for small and medium-sized businesses across London. Whether you need ongoing advice, help with a specific employee issue, or support putting better HR processes in place, our experienced consultants provide the expertise you need without the cost of building a full in-house HR function.

From recruitment and employee relations to HR compliance and workplace policies, we help London employers deal with people matters confidently. Whether you’re managing the capital’s competitive talent market or navigating pay expectations shaped by London’s higher cost of living, we will help your business move forward.

HR Services in London

There’s no single approach to HR that works for every London business. Your requirements will depend on the size of your team, your industry, your growth plans and the people challenges you’re currently facing.

In London, that often means fierce competition for talent, rising pay expectations, hybrid working demands, and the complexity of managing a diverse, often international workforce.

MJV Consulting offers flexible HR support that can be scaled around your business, whether you need an ongoing HR partner or specialist assistance with a particular issue.

Our core HR solutions include:

Whatever stage your business is at, we’ll help you find the right level of support.

Why London businesses choose MJV Consulting

MJV Consulting works alongside business owners and management teams to provide clear, practical advice on the people issues that matter.

Rather than giving you generic HR information, we take the time to understand your circumstances and recommend an approach that makes sense for your organisation.


London businesses face HR challenges that don’t always show up the same way elsewhere, from benchmarking salaries against the London Living Wage, to handling flexible working requests shaped by long commutes. We help you navigate these pressures with practical, London-aware HR support.

Clients choose us for:

  • A named HR consultant who knows your business inside out
  • A personal, family-run approach
  • Handling difficult employee conversations
  • Accreditations and expertise you can trust
  • The flexibility to meet in person or connect remotely, whichever suits you

Our specialist sectors

Beyond our roots, we bring genuine sector expertise such as:

  • Independent Schools – we’ve helped an independent school in Sussex resolve HR challenges affecting operational efficiency and staff morale, and we understand the importance of safeguarding, governor relationships and term-time considerations that are unique to education.
  • Professional Services Firms – from accountancy to finance businesses, we understand partner structures, professional conduct standards and the compliance pressures that come with heavily regulated and reputation-led businesses.
  • Property Sector Professionals – we provide HR services that support surveyors, architects, estate agents and facilities management businesses with the people challenges specific to client-facing property work. Whatever your sector, you’ll be working with a team that already understands your needs.

HR compliance for London employers

Employment law doesn’t stand still, and the Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA 2025) is bringing some of the biggest changes UK employers have seen in years. For Horsham businesses without an in-house HR specialist, keeping policies and processes up to date can feel like a constant moving target.

We help local businesses stay compliant and confident, covering:

  • Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
  • Maternity, paternity and parental leave
  • Redundancy processes
  • Flexible working requests
  • Unfair dismissal claims
  • Zero-hours contract obligations

We’ll review your current documentation, flag any gaps, and help you put practical, compliant processes in place, so you can focus on running your business.

FAQs

Do you provide HR support to businesses outside London?

Yes. We are based in Horsham, but we support businesses across Sussex, Surrey and the wider South East region, including London.

Costs depend on the level of support you need. We offer fixed-fee retained packages and flexible ad-hoc support, so you only pay for what you use. Get in touch for a tailored quote.

A retained package gives you ongoing, consistent access to HR expertise each month, ideal if you manage staff regularly. Ad hoc support is pay-as-you-go, suited to businesses that only need occasional HR help.

Both. We’re happy to meet in person locally, and we also offer remote support by phone and video call for maximum flexibility.

We can usually arrange a free discovery call straight away. Once we understand your needs, support can typically be in place very quickly.

Yes. Employment law in the UK applies from your very first hire. Businesses in London are just as likely to face compliance issues and disputes as major corporations, and often with less support, so getting things right early matters.

We review your contracts, policies and processes against each phase of the Employment Rights Act, helping you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary risk.
