Why Birmingham is different

Birmingham employment is concentrated in professional services, advanced manufacturing, public sector, and a mix of large manufacturing sites with recognised unions and a fast-growing professional-services base, so collective consultation experience matters here more than in most cities. Tribunal claims are heard at Birmingham. Ask each provider on this page how it has handled hr consultancy for employers in professional services specifically.

Common questions

When is project consultancy better than a retainer in Birmingham?
Use a consultant on a day rate (£600-£1,100 a day locally) for one-off work: a restructure, a pay and grading review, a TUPE transfer or an investigation. A retainer makes more sense once you need day-to-day advice every month.
