KR HR & TRAINING NEWS ARTICLES

We marked our 10th business birthday on 12th February 2026 with a celebratory event for clients and colleagues at the Methuen Arms in Corsham.

Over the past decade, we have worked with over 150 SMEs and charities across Wiltshire, Swindon and Bath, building a reputation for consistency and trust, reflected in client feedback praising our professionalism and approachable style. Providing a combination of strategic and hands-on HR consultancy, management development and HR systems, we enjoy supporting organisations to build capability and achieve their goals by getting their people practices right.

Highlights from our 10th year include recognition as a Breathe HR gold partner and success at the TBE Awards where we won the “Dream Team” award and were finalists in the Positive Business category for their charity fundraising, community volunteering and advocacy work. Over the past year, KR HR has become an active member of the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse and we have further new collaborations on this important issue in the pipeline for the year ahead. 

Director Kathryn Fairlie comments: “It’s a proud moment to celebrate our 10th anniversary and take a moment to pause and say thank you to the clients, suppliers and team members who have contributed to our success. I love that we celebrated with clients who have been with us for the whole 10 years, and others who have only partnered with us in recent months. Thinking back to where I started, the business has grown beyond my expectations and this is down to a team that works hard, is continually learning and goes the extra mile to support both our clients and each other.”

Kathryn continues: “2026 has got off to an exceptionally busy start, with clients adapting to changing circumstances and preparing for many legislative changes on the horizon thanks to the Employment Rights Act 2025. We’re ready for the challenges that lie ahead and look forward to expanding the team further during 2026 to meet a growing demand for down-to-earth, practical and values-centred HR support.”

Finally, we would all like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported our business over the past decade. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with you during 2026 and beyond.
