MJV Consulting provides retained HR support for businesses across Horsham and the wider South East.
We offer a fixed fee, ongoing partnership that gives you expert HR guidance whenever you need it, without the overhead of an in-house HR manager or department.
Retained HR support is a monthly arrangement between your business and an outsourced HR consultancy. In exchange for a fixed monthly fee, you get access to ongoing HR support from a professional who gets to know your business, your team, and the challenges you face. Think of it as having an HR director on call.
Unlike ad-hoc HR services, where you pay an hourly rate each time an issue arises, a retained HR service gives you consistent support at a predictable monthly cost. Crucially, your HR consultant already knows your business when something difficult happens, making it far more time-efficient and cost-effective.
At MJV Consulting, our retained service covers everything from routine day-to-day HR queries and documentation through to more complex matters including disciplinary hearings, grievances, absence management, and employment law compliance.
There are many benefits to a retained HR package with MJV Consulting:

Retained HR support is an ongoing arrangement between your business and an outsourced HR consultancy. In exchange for a fixed monthly fee, you receive continuous access to an experienced HR professional who gets to know your business and is available to advise, draft documents, and manage issues as they arise. It works like having your own HR department, without the cost of a full-time HR manager or team.
Our retained HR packages typically include employment contracts and documentation, an employee handbook and HR policies, disciplinary and grievance guidance, absence management support, employment law updates, and day-to-day HR advice by phone and email. Packages can be tailored to your business and the level of support you need.
Pricing depends on the size of your business and the level of ongoing support you require. We offer flexible HR packages with fixed monthly fees so you can plan your budget with confidence. Contact us for a tailored quote, and we’ll make sure you’re only paying for what you need.
With an ad-hoc HR service, you pay an hourly rate each time you need help. That can work well for occasional, one-off issues, but costs can add up. Retained HR gives you a named consultant who knows your business inside out, a predictable monthly cost, and the peace of mind that expert support is always available when you need it most. MJV Consulting offers both retained HR packages and ad-hoc HR services.
Yes. UK employment law applies from your very first employee, covering contracts, right-to-work checks, disciplinary procedures, and statutory entitlements. Smaller businesses are often more exposed to tribunal risk precisely because they lack formal HR processes. A retained HR service ensures you have the right foundations in place from the start.
Absolutely. Whilst MJV Consulting is based in Horsham, we work with businesses across Surrey, Sussex, and the wider South East. We offer both remote support and on-site visits, whichever suits you best.
Our retained clients rely on us for a wide range of HR matters, including disciplinaries and grievances, short and long-term sickness absence, redundancy and restructuring, employment contracts and policy updates, TUPE transfers, performance management, employment law compliance, and everyday people queries from managers and directors. If it involves your people, we can help.
