Michelle Cooksey, head of people and culture

 I work in partnership with regional and central management teams to identify and deliver effective business -focused HR solutions offering advice, guidance and coaching on employment law and employee relations along the way.

I have over 20 years’ experience in management and HR with a wide experience in employment law and employee relations. I like to think I have a clear logical mind with a practical and analytical approach to solving complex employment matters. Above all, I like to ensure that myself and my team are approachable and friendly bunch!

In my spare time I enjoy baking and get to try out my recipes on the team, although there’s always their favourites like banana cake or for the more health conscious low fat raspberry muffins. I also like escaping a few times a year for long walks with my partner, ranging from low-level walking in the Lake District to more strenuous walks in the mountains including places like Austria and Slovenia. When I’m not feeling energetic, there’s nothing like a lazy weekend with a pizza and bottle of wine!
