At MJV Consulting, our mission is straightforward: to alleviate the pressure of HR management, allowing you to focus on growing your business. We go beyond mere compliance, developing HR strategies that align with your core business goals.
Our approach empowers your team and ensures your business thrives in an ever-evolving environment.
Managing people is both rewarding and challenging, and the demands on employers are growing rapidly. Without proper support, businesses can face costly mistakes and inefficiencies. This is where MJV Consulting comes in.
Brighton’s business community is one of the most vibrant on the South Coast, from the tech and digital companies that have built the city’s “Silicon Beach” reputation, to its hospitality, tourism and creative sectors. A dynamic business environment also means a competitive talent market, fast-moving teams, and the kind of complex people situations that can catch even experienced managers off guard.
We’ve worked with Brighton businesses through some genuinely challenging HR situations, including TUPE transfers and we know that what matters most in those moments isn’t just technical knowledge, it’s having someone who can cut through the complexity, explain your options clearly and help you make the right call.
We’re based in Horsham, less than 30 minutes away, and we work with Brighton and Hove businesses as a trusted local partner- accessible when you need us, and genuinely invested in getting the right outcome for you and your team.
Posted on Google Jake WardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Mary of MJV Consulting as our HR partner in my previous business, following her strong track record in both the HR and Commercial Sector. We were looking for someone who could assist us in both areas of the business and Mary’s knowledge and expertise were crucial for us having a solid legal framework in place. Mary supported us with New Starter Packs, Employee Handbooks, and other essential internal policies. She also provided us with Commercial Contracts which enabled us to secure our preferred suppliers. Mary is a highly skilled professional who is fun to work with, and I’d have no hesitation in recommending MJV Consulting. She truly cares for her clients and their businesses.Posted on Google John CawleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
