About Us

We make workplaces better

We understand that HR can mean lots of different things to different people but for us, it’s all about making better workplaces.

We do this by providing Straightforward HR advice and guidance and by helping our clients to set-up their team for success. In doing this, our aim is to prevent people’s problems and focus on how everyone can pull in the same direction to drive consistently high performance and better outcomes.

For us, this is what HR is all about. Of course, problems occur and people can sometimes behave in unexpected ways. We have many years experience of dealing with these situations, but prefer, if it’s at all possible, to focus our efforts and energies on proactive ways to get the best out of people.

Our Vision

Is “to set-up teams for success with high performing people thriving in successful workplaces”.

We want to “make a positive difference to employers and their staff by providing outstanding HR support”.

Our Mission

We develop great relationships and understand our clients’ business.

We stay at the top of our game by continually developing our skills, knowledge and expertise.

We put people (employees) at the heart of what we do and do our best work with clients who value their employees and their contribution.

We create a solid foundation of core, scalable people processes, not forgetting the human aspect of HR.

Your Springboard to HR Success

Why the name Petaurum? Petaurum comes from the Latin word for “springboard” which perfectly reflects our mission to help organisations leap forward with people at the heart of their business.

We created Petaurum out of passion to make workplaces better for both businesses and their people. For over a decade, we’ve equipped growing companies and those facing change by demystifying complex HR matters. Why settle for impersonal, transactional people operations?

Our founder’s frustration with incomprehensible HR jargon sparked a drive to prove it can be different. We cut through the noise to provide straightforward solutions tailored to empower your workforce.

With expertise spanning employment law, talent development, people management, and beyond, we deploy experience gained locally and globally to propel UK organisations. But we don’t just handle technical details – our priority is supporting real humans through transitions with compassion.
