HR Solutions Shropshire

What HR Solutions Shropshire does

HR Solutions Shropshire, trading as Wright HR and legally constituted as Wright HR Ltd, is a single-consultant boutique HR advisory practice based in Shropshire, UK, founded in 2016. The firm is operated entirely by founder Ishbel Lapper, a CIPD Chartered Fellow with a Masters in HR Management and over 20 years of cross-industry HR experience. Services are organised under two pillars — Employment Issues (contracts, policies, TUPE, redundancy, disciplinary, grievance) and Employee Relations (rewards, benefits, performance management, attendance, appraisals, recruitment, training) — delivered via direct consultancy engagements, either remotely (phone, email) or on-site for investigations, meetings, training, and strategic sessions.

The business operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market: a free 30-minute consultation serves as the entry point, with project or retainer pricing quoted bespoke to client needs. Target segments span three tiers — start-ups establishing foundational HR practices, SMBs (the primary segment) needing a trusted HR lead on call, and larger organisations requiring strategic HR support — using a horizontal segmentation approach rather than vertical specialisation. Marketing is executed through a content-led inbound funnel comprising a blog on UK employment topics, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, an email newsletter signup, and the free consultation as the conversion mechanism.

There is no proprietary technology platform, AI tooling, app product, or disclosed revenue figure. The firm's competitive positioning rests almost exclusively on the founder's credentials, professional network, and personalised service delivery. With one named long-tenured client testimonial (Connop Brown Associates, ~20-year relationship) and capacity structurally limited to one consultant's billable hours, the business is best characterised as a lifestyle professional services practice rather than a venture-scale enterprise.

Broad incumbents

• Citation: Large UK provider of HR, employment law, and health & safety services to SMBs; offers fixed-fee subscription bundles that compete with Wright HR's project/retainer model at greater scale.
• Peninsula Group: Established UK HR and employment-law consultancy serving tens of thousands of SMB clients; competes with Wright HR across the same compliance, contracts, and employee-relations advisory needs.
• Croner: UK provider of HR, employment law, and health & safety advice with a long-established advisory practice; broader incumbent offering overlapping employment-law and HR-policy support to SMBs.
• WorkNest (formerly Ellis Whittam): UK HR, employment law, and health & safety outsourcing provider serving SMB and mid-market clients; bundles advisory with compliance updates, overlapping significantly with Wright HR's service catalogue.
• Moorepay: UK provider of payroll, HR, and employment-law services to SMBs; broader incumbent offering combined software-and-advisory bundles that overlap with Wright HR's HR-advisory service line.

Emerging players

• Breathe HR: UK HR software platform targeting SMBs; competes indirectly by enabling SMBs to handle HR admin internally, potentially disintermediating some of Wright HR's advisory scope.
