About The People Shed
The People Shed was opened in July 2016 by Rachel Saunders and Rachael Franklin to specialise in HR and employment law for the franchise industry and SMEs, with an office in Newcastle upon Tyne. The firm has been trading since 2016, so around 10 years. Team size is in the 1-10 range.
What they cover
Published service lines: HR Consultancy, Employment Law Support. Employment law support is offered in-house, so advice and representation can sit with the same firm.
Where they work
The People Shed appears in 1 of our city directories, with a head office in Newcastle upon Tyne: Newcastle upon Tyne. Coverage is regional rather than UK-wide, which usually means cheaper site visits inside the region.
Who this suits
Best fit for employers who want a named adviser who knows the local market and will attend site, and who prefer shorter, more flexible terms than a national contract. Published sector experience covers franchising, so ask for a comparable client before you commit. Less suitable if you need high-volume payroll bureau services as your primary requirement.
