KR HR & Training Consultancy celebrates 10-year milestone
Corsham-based KR HR & Training Consultancy marked its 10th business birthday this week with a celebratory event for clients and colleagues.
Founded by Kathryn Fairlie in February 2016, KR HR set out to change the perception of HR from managing problems to unlocking potential. Today, this four-person team combines decades of experience with a shared commitment to making working life better for businesses and employees alike.
Over the past decade, the team has worked with over 150 SMEs and charities across Wiltshire, Swindon and Bath, building a reputation for consistency and trust, reflected in client feedback praising its professionalism and approachable style. Providing a combination of strategic and hands-on HR consultancy, management development and HR systems, the KR HR team enables organisations to build capability and achieve goals by getting people practices right.
Highlights from KR HR’s 10th year include recognition as a Breathe HR gold partner and success at the TBE Awards where the firm won the “Dream Team” accolade and was a finalist in the Positive Business category for its charity fundraising, community volunteering and advocacy work. Over the past year, KR HR has become an active member of the Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse and has further new collaborations on this important issue in the pipeline for the year ahead.
Kathryn Fairlie, Director, said, “It’s a proud moment to celebrate our 10th anniversary and take a moment to pause and say thank you to the clients, suppliers and team members who have contributed to our success. I love that we celebrated with clients who have been with us for the whole 10 years, and others who have only partnered with us in recent months. Thinking back to where I started, the business has grown beyond my expectations and this is down to a team that works hard, is continually learning and goes the extra mile to support both our clients and each other.”
Kathryn continued, “2026 has got off to an exceptionally busy start, with clients adapting to changing circumstances and preparing for many legislative changes on the horizon thanks to the Employment Rights Act 2025. We’re ready for the challenges that lie ahead and look forward to expanding the team further during 2026 to meet a growing demand for down-to-earth, practical and values-centred HR support.”
