About
The people behind your people strategy.
GLC HR Consultancy is a Norwich-based, founder-led HR firm. One qualified pair of hands, a handful of clients at a time, and work that stays personal.
The founder
Hello, I'm Gemma. I run GLC HR.
Fifteen years inside HR teams across manufacturing, hospitality, professional services and the third sector — most of it in Norfolk and the East of England. I've sat through the all-hands restructures, the late-Friday grievances, the audits and the awkward conversations no-one else wanted to have.
GLC HR exists because most small businesses don't need a full-time HR director — they need someone reliable, qualified, and on the end of an email. That's what I do, working with a handful of clients at a time so the work stays personal.
Why GLC
Six reasons clients stay with us — and refer us on.
Plain English, always
We write contracts, policies and emails the way real humans speak. If a manager can't understand it, it isn't going to work.
Norfolk on the ground
Norwich-based, Norfolk-focused. Site visits, in-person mediations, tribunal hearings at Bury St Edmunds — we're there in person when it matters.
No tied retainers
Start with one piece of work. Pause when you need to. Scale up to a fractional partnership only when the value's clear.
One pair of hands
You work with Gemma directly. Not a junior, not a faceless team — the person who quoted you is the person on your file.
Fixed-fee where possible
Most casework, policy writes and projects are quoted at a fixed fee. You know the cost before we start.
Honest, even when awkward
If your case is weak, your policy is illegal, or your manager is the problem — we'll tell you. That's the point of paying for an outsider.
