The R.E.A.L. Team!

Rebecca Fordham - Director
The queen of networking, Rebecca is our public face and voice (and boy does she talk?!). Making friends instantly, Rebecca will solve your people problems in her friendly, approachable style. Not afraid to roll her sleeves up and get on with the dirty work, Rebecca is a great asset to businesses as their Virtual HR Director.

Geoff Fordham - Director
Behind the scenes, Geoff is the one who crunches numbers, books your training events, sets the direction for the R.E.A.L. team to follow, sends out your invoice (not a sackable offence, sorry!) and basically keeps the office ticking along nicely.

Helen Lawrence
Helen heads up our Oxford office, and is a fantastic addition to the advisory team, with her pragmatic, hands-on advice. With more years' experience in HR than she cares to admit, Helen will get your HR function shipshape in no time, and is always on the end of the 'phone to answer any of your HR emergencies.

Peter Wareing
Peter is a Barrister who has the ability to speak in plain English (a rare skill in his profession!), and has considerable commercial experience that he is able to take into account when faced with any legal problem, having run his own retail business in the early nineties before coming to a career in employment law. He has also worked for major companies such as Sun Life of Canada and Coca-Cola in Sales & Marketing roles.

Peter believes that prevention is far better than any cure for employment woes, and definitely cheaper! He recommends taking advice from R.E.A.L People Solutions before matters progress from manageable to the Courts and Tribunals, but when things do he is a trusted advisor of the R.E.A.L. team, so will be on hand to provide expert advice and support through to a successful conclusion.
