Group HR Business Partner at ASG Group, shaping a Group HR transformation strategy and roadmap for HR digitalisation.

United Kingdom

Message

At ASG Group, I partner with Directors and senior leadership teams across multiple businesses to deliver commercial people strategies and organisational change. I developed and presented a Group HR Transformation Strategy, with a roadmap for HR digitalisation and a single source of truth for people data.

At Distrelec, I led the HR function during its integration into RS Group, supporting strategic change and leading redundancy, TUPE and collective consultation projects. Earlier, as Global HR Manager, I implemented a centralised HR system across multiple countries and delivered a benefits review that generated approximately £40,000 in annual savings.

At Awaze, I designed and delivered the Across Awaze leadership development programme and supported organisational design and change initiatives. My experience spans manufacturing, engineering, e-commerce and international organisations, with a focus on business partnering, employee relations and HR transformation.
