October post-budget update: Live Q&A for SMEs and HR

Rob Birley is the co-founder of Cornerstone Resources HR Consultancy, based in Stockport. Cornerstone have now been trading for nearly 7 years and work with 200 SME’s, Charities and Churches across the UK. Prior to launching Cornerstone, Rob had a 20-year Corporate HR career with the likes of AstraZeneca, Bupa, Kellogg’s and KPMG in both generalist and Reward roles.

I’m a seasoned HR professional with a BA in Communications and a Masters in Human Resource Management. I’ve been a CIPD member since completing my studies and have spent over a decade in senior HR roles within blue-chip companies. In 2012, I founded OneHR to provide proactive HR solutions for SMEs. My expertise spans many areas of HR, helping businesses streamline operations by acting as their in-house HR provider or partnering with them to meet specific needs. 

At OneHR, we offer comprehensive HR solutions designed to fit your business. We provide full-service HR, from strategic planning and HR business partnering to accurate administration. Our CMC-accredited mediators resolve workplace disputes efficiently, and we deliver targeted training in leadership, management, EDI, neurodiversity, and HR skills coaching. 

I’m passionate about promoting diversity, sustainability, and ethical business practices, reflecting these values in our client’s HR strategy. My pragmatic approach ensures that the solutions we offer align with your organisation’s culture and values, empowering your business to thrive. 

Outside of work, I enjoy life by the sea in Brighton with my husband, our children, Rosie the serene cat, and Molly the energetic labradoodle. I love Brighton’s vibrant, eclectic spirit and spending time on the beach and South Downs, often with a stop at a local pub.
