A fresh approach to small business HR

Our vision is to help your business to realise its true potential by making it as easy as possible for you to manage your people.

2,000+ UK businesses choose citrusHR’s friendly, flexible approach

The citrus HR story

citrus HR was founded in 2013 by David Lester — a successful entrepreneur with deep experience in the small business sector, and Georgina Read and Kirsty Senior — two vastly experienced HR consultants.

They had seen first-hand how HR issues put the brakes on the growth of small businesses. Spurred into action by the inflexible, one-size-fits-all approach that characterised the market for HR services, they founded citrus HR — the HR support service and software that puts small, medium and growing businesses first.

What does that mean in reality? It means:

  • We offer flexible, rolling, monthly contracts instead of locking customers in for years on end.
  • We charge on a clear per-employee basis that makes it easy for businesses to budget for HR.
  • We tailor our expert HR advice and our work on your employment documents to the needs of your business, rather than treating your business as if it was the same as every other one.
  • We design HR software that’s focused on saving you time on day to day HR admin tasks that we know can distract your team from doing their jobs. 

Our vision is to help your business to realise its true potential by making it as easy as possible for you to manage your people. If you have any ideas for how we can do this better, we’re all ears.

In March 2023, we started the next chapter of our story and became part of the Alcumus family. Find out more about about this development here.
