Patricia Colden - Managing Director

Patricia Colden

Managing Director and Founder

I am a qualified HR professional with more than 20 years’ experience in HR management across a range of business sectors.

I have a degree in Business and am proud to be a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).   HR can often be undervalued but I genuinely believe that people are the greatest asset any organisation has and often a reason why businesses succeed or fail.  This is why I set up the business.

In my spare time I am an active member and former Chair of the Birmingham Branch Committee of CIPD and am also a member of the Governing Body of a local primary school with specific responsibility for policy and safeguarding.  I live in Sutton Coldfield with my husband, daughter Jasmine, and our family dog Willow who spends a lot of time keeping us company in the office.

With over 15 years’ experience within operational management, HR, facilities and financial services my role as HR Advisor is to work closely with our clients to understand their needs and offer support, guidance and confidentiality wherever they need it most. When I’m not working, you will usually find me on muddy dog walks with Ted the cockapoo, following the women’s super league or attempting to keep fit on the peloton bike!
