On 1 March 2026, HRCentral proudly marks a major milestone, 20 years of delivering pragmatic, people-centric HR support and solutions to businesses throughout the United Kingdom. Since its launch in March 2006, HRCentral has grown from a bold idea into a trusted partner for small and medium-sized enterprises seeking expert human resources, recruitment, training, and compliance support.
Two Decades of People-First HR Support
From the outset, HRCentral has focused on one clear mission: to put people at the heart of every organisation’s success. The firm was founded by Rebecca Woolmington, a seasoned HR professional with decades of experience, who recognised that many businesses, especially SMEs, lacked accessible, effective HR expertise. What began as a vision to offer strategic HR guidance has evolved into a full-service support business that serves clients across the UK.
Over the past 20 years, HRCentral has repeatedly championed a transparent, flexible model of service delivery — one that charges by the hour, not by retainer or hidden placement fees, ensuring businesses only pay for the support they use. This commitment to fairness and clarity remains fundamental to the way HRCentral works with clients today.
Comprehensive HR Services That Grow With Your Business
As HRCentral enters its third decade, its breadth of services reflects both depth of experience and responsiveness to evolving business needs. From recruitment and talent acquisition to performance management, legal compliance, training, change management, and bespoke HR documentation, the company supports the full employee lifecycle. Whether stepping in to solve a specific HR challenge or acting as an outsourced HR team, HRCentral’s pragmatic, up-to-date advice offers peace of mind to employers of all sizes.
A Team Built on Expertise and Trust
Based in Goring on Thames on the Oxfordshire-Berkshire border, the IPD-qualified consultants, recruitment specialists, and employee relations experts who understand the day-to-day realities of managing people and organisational culture. Over the years, clients have commended the team’s friendly but decisive approach, noting that HRCentral “really knows their stuff” and delivers solutions that get results.
Partnerships and Collaboration
Central to HRCentral’s sustained success has been its collaborative approach. The company works with award-winning partners to deliver niche services, enhance specialist offerings, and provide clients with comprehensive HR support at an SME-friendly price point.
Celebrating Today, Looking to Tomorrow
As HRCentral celebrates its 20th anniversary, the company looks forward to continuing its mission of supporting businesses through the people-related challenges that come with growth, change, and success. With a firm foundation built over two decades, HRCentral remains committed to pragmatic, human-centred HR solutions that help businesses, and the people who drive them, to thrive.
