HR Consultant and Company Directors of Peas in a Pod Consulting Ltd

Rebecca Beard
Kay Coombs

Rebecca and Kay are the HR Consultant and Company Directors of Peas in a Pod Consulting Ltd. They know what small employers need from a HR Strategic Partner and they try their hardest every day, with every client, to nail it.

Both help their clients with various concerns, including people issues, support with employee recruitment, or simple HR advice from people who know the business. They are practical and business-driven.

They are the Peas! Rebecca and Kay. One brings the ‘contractual and compliance’ expertise whilst the other focuses on the ‘leadership and Employee Value Proposition’ elements of people management and business growth.

Ultimately, their overarching principle remains the same; "When we’re more human ourselves, it gives the other person permission to be human in return" and they keep this at the forefront of everything they do.

We are grateful to get up everyday and do what we love, and to see the amazing impact we have on our clients and their people. We are thrilled to be part of the EiR programme at the University of Portsmouth and can’t wait to give something back to the next generation of aspiring entrepreneurs!
