- 3PL and warehouse transitions: the people plan
- Restructuring, consultation and redundancy
- Mergers and acquisitions: HR due diligence before, integration after

Common questions
What is a fractional HR Director?
A senior HR leader who works with your business part-time or on a flexible basis, giving you strategic HR leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
Can you help with TUPE if we change 3PL or bring fulfilment in-house?
Yes. Lindsay advises on TUPE, consultation and redundancy and builds the people plan around the operational move. Where a matter needs specialist legal advice, she will say so.
