Elevated architectural workspace symbolising Thirty's strategic clarity

    Our Approach

    High-Level HR Strategy.
    Ground-Level Execution.

    The Process

    Three phases. Zero fluff.

    01

    The Audit

    We immerse ourselves in your business. Your team, your culture, your pain points. No assumptions, no templates. Just a clear-eyed assessment of where you are and what is holding you back.

    02

    The Architecture

    We design a people strategy tailored to your stage, your ambition, and your brand DNA. Structures, processes, and frameworks, built to scale with you, not against you.

    03

    The Action

    Strategy without execution is just a slide deck. We roll up our sleeves and embed alongside your team to implement, iterate, and drive lasting change on the ground.

    The Commercial Logic

    Why fractional wins.

    Full-Time Hire

    • £80–120k+ salary before benefits
    • 3–6 month recruitment timeline
    • Fixed overhead regardless of need
    • Risk of cultural misalignment
    • Single perspective, single skill set

    Fractional Model

    • Senior strategic input at a fraction of the cost
    • Deployed within days, not months
    • Scales up or down with your business
    • Proven track record with founder-led brands
    • Broad experience across sectors and stages

    The smartest founders don't wait until they can afford a full-time People Director. They bring in senior capability early, fractionally, and build the foundations that make the eventual hire a success, not a gamble.
