Speak To Our HR ExpertsYour HR Partner in Salisbury
Running a business in Salisbury comes with its own unique challenges. Whether you're based in the city centre, out in the cathedral quarter, or serving the wider Wiltshire area, you need HR support that understands your world.
We work closely with Salisbury business owners to make sure you're legally protected, have the right teams in place, and can create a workplace that works for both you and your team.
Because here's the thing: UK employment law is a minefield. And because it's complicated, too many HR companies dispense advice that's one-size-fits-all, and doesn't have you and your needs at its heart.
We're different. We're an independent business, just like you, and we understand what it's like. That's why we provide advice that keeps your Salisbury business protected, while still allowing you to run your business the way you want.
Our team is ready to help you.

HR Services for Salisbury Businesses
Redundancy and Restructuring
If your Salisbury business needs redundancy or restructuring support, our experienced team can guide you through the whole process. Whether you're adapting to economic changes, pivoting your business model, or streamlining operations, we'll ensure you do it legally, fairly, and with minimal risk.
Employment Contracts
If you're not issuing valid contracts to your team, you're immediately starting from a position of weakness. We'll create employment contracts that protect your Salisbury business, clearly set out expectations, and ensure you're compliant with current UK employment law.
Policies and Procedures
Without policies and procedures, your business is weak; if you end up in a tribunal without them, you're in trouble. We'll develop comprehensive, tailored policies that cover everything from disciplinary procedures to data protection all written in plain English, not legal jargon.
Employee Handbook
An employee handbook is essential for protecting your business and ensuring your team understands their rights and responsibilities. We'll create a handbook that reflects your company's culture while ensuring you remain legally compliant.
Disciplinary and Performance Management
Hiring staff is great, until it's not, and managing performance and dealing with disciplinary issues is not what most of us went into business for. We'll support you through difficult conversations, formal processes, and everything in between—keeping you legally protected every step of the way.
Absence and Long-Term Sick Leave
Managing staff absence, especially long-term sickness, is one of the trickiest areas of employment law. We'll help you balance your duty of care to your employee with the needs of your Salisbury business, ensuring you handle everything correctly and compassionately.

What our clients say...
"Their advice is always practical, timely, and affordable"
I can’t recommend Jacqui and her team at JMA highly enough.
They’ve been absolutely invaluable in keeping us on track with all things HR – from ensuring our policies, contracts, and company handbook are fully up to date, to helping us navigate compliance and advising on HR processes.
Their advice is always practical, timely, and affordable – a rare and much-needed combination! For any SME looking for reliable and expert HR support, Jacqui and her team are the kind of essential partners you want by your side.
Jacinta Scannell Managing Director, The Conference Collective
"Exceptionally professional, providing real life support"
I had the pleasure of working with Jacqui and her team for over ten years on a variety of topics, including TUPE, business acquisitions and disposals, corporate HR strategy, and both proactive and reactive HR matters.
During this time, I found Jacqui and her team to be exceptionally professional, providing real life support, guidance and protection for our business. Even whilst a wider support team was available, Jacqui herself would always be on hand to understand our business and provide the necessary support for both the company and me as an individual.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Jacqui and her team for any future opportunities.
