Clare Guy
HR Consultant
Clare is an experienced HR professional with a strong background in retail and operational HR, having supported businesses ranging from individual sites to large multi-location operations. Before joining HR2day, she held both on-site and regional HR roles with major retailers, including B&Q and Heron Foods, working closely with managers and leadership teams to deliver practical, people-focused HR support.
Her hands-on experience means she understands the realities of managing people in fast-paced environments and the challenges businesses face when balancing commercial objectives with employee wellbeing. Clare supports clients across all areas of HR, including recruitment, onboarding, absence management, performance management, employee relations, policy implementation and manager guidance.
Alongside day-to-day HR support, Clare is experienced in handling more sensitive employee matters, including disciplinary and grievance procedures, investigations, restructures, organisational change and redundancy processes. Having personally experienced redundancy herself during her career, she brings a level of empathy and understanding that helps her support both employers and employees through difficult situations with professionalism and care.
Clients value Clare’s approachable nature, practical mindset and ability to communicate clearly. She believes that successful HR is about finding solutions that work for both the business and its people, helping managers address challenges confidently while creating positive working environments.
As an Associate Member of the CIPD, Clare consistently develops her knowledge and expertise to ensure clients receive commercially focused, up-to-date HR advice. In addition to her consultancy work, she also plays a key role in supporting HR2day’s administration and advisory services, helping clients access timely, efficient support whenever they need it.
Outside of work, Clare enjoys keeping active, spending time in the gym and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, bringing the same energy and commitment to her personal life as she does to supporting clients and their teams.
