your go-to HR provider when people come first
Practical HR support for SMEs across Yorkshire and the North, built on 25+ years of experience.

HR expertise you can actually rely on.
There are plenty of HR consultants out there. Most will give you a policy, point you at a template, and leave you to figure out the rest. That is not what Lappin HR does.
We work alongside SMEs across Yorkshire and the North as a genuine HR partner. Someone who knows your business, understands your people, and gives you clear, practical advice you can act on. No jargon. No waffle. No over-engineering things that should be simple.
And when the situation calls for specialist knowledge, whether that is in employee relations, reward, learning and development, or senior HR leadership, we bring the right expertise in. So you always get the right support, without the cost of building an in-house team
What makes us different?
Meet Sue Lappin

Sue Lappin
FounderSue Lappin has spent over 25 years at the heart of HR, with roles at some of the UK’s best-known brands, including Johnson & Johnson, BT, Sharp, and JCT 600.
She set up Lappin HR because she saw a gap. SMEs across Yorkshire and the North were going without proper HR support, or paying for advice that didn’t fit the reality of running a smaller business. And when a situation calls for specialist knowledge, Sue brings in trusted experts from her network, so clients always get the right support.
Sue is a Chartered Member of the CIPD and an accredited Insights Discovery, and Motivational Maps practitioner.
Trusted local advisors
Good HR does not exist in isolation. Over the years we have built strong working relationships with accountants, payroll providers, employment solicitors, and other trusted advisors across Yorkshire and the North.
So if a question comes up that sits outside HR, we will point you in the right direction. And if your accountant or solicitor has a client who needs HR support, they know they can trust us to look after them.
Are you an accountant, payroll provider or solicitor? We’re always happy to talk about working together.
