Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats, and HR often ends up being one of those jobs that quietly sits in the background… until suddenly it can’t. Whether it’s contracts, handbooks, compliance, a tricky situation, or simply wanting to double‑check you’re doing the right thing, I support small and growing businesses across Helston, Falmouth, Porthleven, Redruth, Truro, St Austell, St Ives, Liskeard, Bodmin, Camborne and wider Cornwall & Devon with clear, people‑first HR guidance.

Lowarn HR is built on a simple belief

When HR is calm and human, workplaces thrive — and problems stay small.

Practical HR help for real‑world situations

I offer friendly, proportionate support for the things business owners deal with every day, including:

• Employee contracts & handbooks
• HR policies & compliance
• Day‑to‑day HR advice for awkward or sensitive situations
• Hiring & onboarding support
• Disciplinary & grievance guidance
• Support for managers who want to feel more confident
• Ongoing HR support for small and growing businesses

This is HR that meets you where you are — without judgement, jargon or scare tactics.

HR support that stays human — even as we grow

One thing will never change at Lowarn HR:
we don’t do call centres, ticketing queues, or faceless advisors reading from scripts.

As the business grows, every client will always have:

• A named HR professional
• Local to your area
• Who knows your people, your setup, and your story
• And can visit your workplace when you need them

You’ll never have to repeat the same issue to multiple advisors or re‑explain your situation again and again.

It’s HR that’s consistent, personal, and genuinely supportive —
like having an HR manager on hand, without the cost of hiring one.

Local HR support that actually feels local

Being based in Helston means I understand the realities of working in Cornwall:

• the challenges of small teams
• limited hiring pools
• seasonal pressures
• close‑knit communities
• the importance of reputation and relationships

Good HR isn’t just about policy — it’s about people, context and connection.
That’s why Lowarn HR offers responsive, relationship‑led support, not remote helplines.

When something feels off or a situation needs clarity, I can pop by in person to:

• understand the issue in real time
• support managers on the ground
• calm situations before they escalate
• help you resolve problems quickly and proportionately
• build a long‑term, trusted relationship

Because good HR decisions come from understanding the environment, not a script.

Proactive HR that helps you think ahead

Some businesses want to prevent problems before they grow.
Others want HR woven into how decisions are made.

For those teams, I offer more strategic, hands‑on support, helping you:

• plan ahead
• support managers
• make confident decisions
• embed good practice
• avoid costly mistakes later

It’s like having HR in your pocket — and someone who can visit when needed — without the overhead of a full‑time hire.

Why work with Lowarn HR?

• Kind, calm, human HR
• Local to Helston and supporting businesses across Cornwall
• Clear, practical guidance you can act on straight away
• Support shaped around your business — not a generic process
• No scripts, no call centres, no scare tactics
• Flexible support: one‑off help, Essentials Lite, Partner Plan, and bolt‑ons

If something feels uncomfortable, confusing, or you just want a sounding board…
you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Let’s talk it through

Most clients get in touch because something has been sitting in the back of their mind and they want to sense‑check it before it grows.

No pressure.
No judgement.
Just a conversation.
