The benefits of working with us
Good HR promotes growth
GoldHR was founded by Sam Gold in 2012 to provide HR support to small and medium businesses who need access to professional HR advice and support but don’t need the expense of employing an HR professional.
Since then, we’ve worked with a wide range of businesses across Surrey and Hampshire, helping with everything from employing the very first member of staff to dealing with difficult disciplinary issues. Nothing phases us – we have the skills, the experience and the insight to make sure that everything is taken care of properly.
Running a small business isn’t easy when you have all those plates to keep spinning. But we know if your business is to grow and succeed, your people are the key to that success.
