Chloe Wallace

I’m a highly qualified and experienced HR professional, holding a CIPD Level 7 qualification in Human Resource Management, as well as Level 5 qualifications in both HR Management and Learning & Development. In 2024, my organisation was proud to receive the HR Award for L&D Provision of the Year, a recognition of the impact and quality of the training we deliver.

I bring years of commercially focused, pragmatic HR experience to every session, with a strong track record of helping businesses manage people matters effectively and confidently. I'm particularly proud to say that, throughout my career, I’ve never had a case progress to tribunal, a testament to my ability to proactively manage issues and safeguard organisations against risk.

My approach is clear, straight-talking, and grounded in real-world experience, no jargon, no fluff, just practical support that works.
