Head Office celebrates growth

Cardiff-based employment law and human resources specialists, Head Office, is celebrating a string of new contract wins across the leisure, tourism and sport sectors.

Established in 2008 as a part of the NewLaw Group, the UK’s fastest-growing personal injury law firm, Head Office now provides HR and employment law services to more than 100 organisations across the UK.

The company has won a three-year deal with 23 county cricket boards in England and Wales where it will offer day-to-day recruitment advice, contracts of employment, handle disciplinary, dispute and investigations. The deal is an extension of Head Office’s four-year contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board.

This year, Head Office has also won new contracts with the Cricket Foundation, Future Inns, Cwmdare Homes, Ruby Tuesday and several dental practices across the UK, which has led to the appointment of an employment lawyer, a HR consultant and three administrative staff.

Wendy Stamp, managing director of Head Office, set up the company with Damien Burns in 2008. She said: “The company was formed with a small team and we’ve expanded substantially due to the number of contracts we’ve won. Whereas we originally focused on smaller companies, we have found that the market for outsourced HR and employment services remains buoyant as more organisations are looking for specialist support without having to recruit a team in-house.”
