Charlotte Dean MCIPD
HR Director
Charlotte Dean MCIPD
I shape the vision and objectives for the business and enable and empower my brilliant team to deliver a quality service to our clients.
In 2024, I proudly celebrated 20 years as the Managing Director of P3 People Management, and I feel just as passionate about our purpose today as I did when I set up the business.
My role has evolved and now I work on a more strategic basis with clients. With a strong commercial and pragmatic approach, my objective is to develop and implement strategic plans and initiatives that align with the organisation's vision and goals. My role with our P3 team is to coach, mentor and provide opportunities for their personal and professional development.
When I switch off from work, you will mostly find me outdoors. Blessed to live on the coast, I have mountains and the sea to keep me calm and occupied!

I enjoy change management and helping our clients problem solve and put people at the heart of their business objectives.
My HR career has taken me across diverse industries — pharmaceutical services, market research, defence, and outsourced sales & marketing — giving me a deep understanding of different workplace cultures.
For the past eight years at P3 People Management, I’ve had the privilege of working with fantastic SME businesses across professional services and manufacturing. I thrive on building strong relationships, tackling complex employment matters, and coaching managers to drive positive outcomes. With a strong focus on employee relations, I help businesses reduce risk, navigate tricky HR challenges, and implement change projects that enhance efficiency and workplace culture.
Outside of HR, I’m a self-confessed magpie—always on the lookout for unique homewares and trinkets (John Lewis and independent shops are my weakness!). Running is my reset button—I completed my first 10K in 2022 and even pushed through a half marathon. Fresh air and endorphins keep me going!

Katie Gibbons CIPD
I pride myself on my attention to detail and inquisitive nature, ensuring the best outcomes for every situation.
I have been a dedicated member of P3PM since 2017, working with a diverse range of SMEs.
My role at P3 is a little different in that I provide comprehensive HR support to clients, offering day-to-day employee advice, managing projects, and handling HR data, including HR systems. My expertise helps shape informed decision-making processes.
During my time here I have successfully led several key projects, including both local and global employee surveys, the implementation of new HR systems, the role out of new contracts of employment and employee handbooks. Systems and data are my specialty, ensuring the best outcomes for every situation.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, often dining out or catching up over a glass of wine. I have also recently rekindled my passion for running.

Michaela Lewis CIPD
HR and Business Administrator
Michaela Lewis CIPD
I help clients to streamline the employee lifecycle with efficient processes, accurate data analysis, compliance and strategic planning.
Originally from London, my husband and I made the move up to Manchester in 2007 and have called it home ever since. My career was predominantly in the hospitality industry, however, 3 children later I had to re-evaluate my career options. I spent just over four years working in Tesco as an Admin Assistant. Within this role I gained a wealth of experience to add to my knowledge I had already in HR. I started my journey with P3 in April 2021 and have not looked back. I love the variety of clients that I look after, no one day is the same and I am constantly learning within a team of experienced HR professionals. I have also gained my CIPD Associate level 5 qualification, with the support of the team.
When I am not at work, I am mostly kept busy running around after my 3 children, Jessika, Charlie & Emilie, oh and my chihuahua, Stanley!
I love going to visit my family in Stafford, catching up with friends & going for long walks (if it’s not raining – I am 100% a summer person) In the winter you’ll find me mostly at home, in my onesie and slippers!.

"Expert Support & Terrific Service"
Our company joined with P3 a few years ago and we have experienced nothing but expert support with all our HR needs. Michaela has been a fantastic asset, acting almost as if she is part of the company with her quick replies and excellent reports that allow us to monitor our companies needs more efficiently. We would also like to mention Katie, Emma, Claire and Charlotte who have helped us develop and improve our policies and procedures as well as providing specialist support to us with regards to the more delicate and less desirable sides of managing employees. P3 have become an invaluable asset to our company supporting us as we continually develop and adapt our HR needs.

"Working Alongside P3PM"
Having P3PM support is an asset to our company. When I need any assistance with certain circumstances P3 is always available and always very helpful. They are a brilliant team and were very helpful during the latest disciplinary we had on site.

"P3 - a Value Add team"
I have worked with P3, and more specifically Claire, for over 6 years. Claire is a great sounding board and provides advice and guidance on a range of HR activities from day-to-day operations through to strategic initiatives, that allows the organisation to continually develop and create a high performing workforce. On a personal level, P3 also provide opportunities for myself and my team to learn and develop which is a invaluable service to us all.

"Engaging with P3 People"
I have engaged with P3 People over the past three years and it has been a real pleasure working with them and it has enabled me to grow the company as I wanted to by developing our culture and ensuring that we were recruiting, developing and retaining some great people. As with most businesses, we did have a few people issues to deal with and at those times I really appreciated that P3 People were there advising us and guiding us through the various procedures that we had to follow. Also, one of the most helpful things they did for us was to help us put our performance review process in place. We ran it for the first time in March-April last year and it went down very well with a positive response from the staff.
As our company has grown significantly now, we have recently recruited our own HR Director. However, I should emphasise that because of the help that P3 People provided, it allowed me to take the company to where we are today and I have no hesitation in recommending P3 People for the work that they do and the support that they have provided to us.
