About Donna Kennedy HR Ltd
My approach helps recruitment founders build businesses that are easier to run, more profitable, and worth more when it's time to sell - without the cost of a full-time HR Director.
The HR expertise your business needs, without the full-time overhead. I bring board-level HR leadership shaped by deep insight into the recruitment sector - including what's keeping founders up at night right now. I'll strengthen your management team, reduce the drag of people issues, and help you build a business that runs better and attracts serious buyers.
Build toward exit without taking your eye off the day job. End-to-end M&A support and exit preparation - from culture and leadership bench strength to the people-side due diligence that protects your valuation. Plus full integration support if you're acquiring.
Turn your managers into leaders who actually deliver. EMCC-accredited 1:1 and team coaching that builds the capability, confidence, and accountability buyers want to see — and that makes your business easier to scale right now.
Stay ahead of employment law before it becomes a costly problem. From the new six-month unfair dismissal rules to the Worker Protection Act - I'll keep you protected and compliant without the legal jargon.
