Amicus People choose a path less trodden; We provide board room level HR consultancy as standard and are the trusted partner that businesses turn to when they require absolute clarity, confidence, and delivery of solutions at pace. We believe that clarity eats chaos for breakfast!
“You can’t do that” are words never spoken by us. Instead, we bring pragmatic, risk‑reducing and timely solutions to your people related challenges, that are grounded in decades of expertise.
Our expert services delivered by CIPD qualified consultants cut through the noise. They are built on a deep respect for our clients, their people, their stakeholders and the impact that amazing HR delivery has on culture, performance, and the bottom line.
Years of leading HR teams at the highest levels, including serving as Global Head of HR Operations and Business Partnering at The Economist, led our Founder to create Amicus People Ltd. Based in Cheltenham but supporting organisations nationwide, our expert consultants bring best in class HR consultancy services to the businesses that need it most.
Today, Amicus People partners with start‑ups, scale‑ups, and SMEs across multiple industry sectors including Cyber, Tech, Construction, Media, Professional Services and more.

Our Values
Most companies use typical templated values that the majority of their employees and their leaders can’t remember or align to.
They fail to embed them within their organisation culture and more often than not, they become an overlooked poster on the office wall.
Amicus People are different! We hold ourselves to a single standard that drives every decision that we make and every interaction with our clients by:
Doing the right thing - always!
It’s direct, accountable and leaves no room for ambiguity or interpretation. It’s the line we draw, the culture we build, and the promise that we stand firmly behind.
Our Mission
Amicus People exist to build relationships that feel personal, trusted, enduring and genuinely transformative. We partner closely with organisations to always give more than expected, strengthen culture, elevate leadership capability and create workplaces where trust is restored, and people feel valued and supported.
By deeply understanding your journey and ambitions, we align our expertise to manage risk with confidence and nurture trust at every level. We firmly believe that clarity eats chaos for breakfast!
Our mission is therefore to stand beside our clients with humanity, clarity, humility and unwavering commitment whilst guiding them to “yes”, in a way that feels effortless, authentic and uniquely theirs.
