HR Delivered

What HR Delivered does

HR Delivered is a privately held, founder-owned fractional HR consultancy registered in England and Wales (company number 13142015), founded in 2021 by Helen Stocker and Tracy Garrett and headquartered in Bedfordshire. The firm provides flexible, part-time HR director-level support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack or cannot justify a full-time in-house HR function, covering HR administration, day-to-day partnering, policy development, performance and absence management, employee relations, recruitment support, and strategic people leadership. Engagements are sold on a consultative, retainer- or day-rate basis with monthly billing and are scoped per client; no software, platform, or proprietary technology is built or sold.

The company operates a horizontal segmentation approach targeting SMEs across multiple sectors including charities (Agewell East, Caudwell Youth), financial services (Lifetime Financial Management), and legal services (Brackley Law). Its go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, anchored by content marketing (a regularly updated HR blog covering employment law changes, wellbeing, and probation), organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook), a monthly email newsletter, regional PR, and a free initial consultation as the primary conversion mechanism. The firm holds Gold Partner status with BreatheHR and has built a joint financial wellbeing offering with Lifetime Financial Management, while maintaining active community involvement as a Founder Torchrunner for Caudwell Youth.

The team consists of approximately six people including the two named founders; Helen Stocker serves as Founder and HR Director with cross-sector HR Director experience, while Tracy Garrett serves as Client Services Partner with over 30 years of expertise in people and processes. The company is independently owned with no external institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no disclosed revenue figures, and consecutive Bedfordshire Business Awards finalist recognition in 2024 and 2025. Distribution is exclusively direct engagement, with services delivered in person or remotely to SME decision-makers across England.
