Meet the Team

Just as we believe that the only tangible asset a business has is its people, then we apply the same philosophy to ourselves. It is important to us that everyone at MYHRSupport lives our values and puts the client at the heart of everything we do.

Every client will have a Lead HR Consultant assigned to them who will manage all aspects of an assignment or project. Meet a few of the team here to give you a feel for the calibre of people that you will be working with.

Andrew Johnson Founder and HR Consultant

After a seventeen-year career in Whitbread in various Operational and HR roles including HR Director for TGI Fridays, HR Controller for Whitbread Restaurants, HR Director at Hilton Hotels and HR Director at Interbrew (UK) Ltd, I left corporate life and started my own HR and training companies. For the last 15 years I have been helping SMEs with their people strategies.

I love working with Entrepreneurs and Business Owners helping them shape their people strategies to maximise their performance. This has involved recruiting new talent into a growing organisation, restructuring teams to maximising effectiveness, providing the appropriate Employment Contracts and HR Policies to support the business. We have also got involved in training and developing senior leadership teams as well as coaching business owners when developing their future business strategies.

I am proud of the people I work with and the relationships with our clients of long-term reciprocal value. In my spare time I teach karate, go fishing and travel.
