Based right here in Altrincham, we understand the unique character of the local business community. From the independent retailers and hospitality venues transforming Altrincham Market to the professional services firms and growing tech companies establishing themselves in the area, we work with businesses that reflect the town's entrepreneurial spirit.

Our proximity means more than convenient meetings. We understand the local employment market, the challenges of attracting talent in Greater Manchester's competitive landscape, and the specific pressures facing Altrincham businesses as the town continues its remarkable regeneration.

Professional HR Expertise on Your Doorstep

With over 20 years of experience supporting businesses across the region, our CIPD-qualified consultants bring senior-level HR expertise directly to your Altrincham business. Whether you're dealing with employee relations issues, navigating complex employment law, or building your first HR infrastructure, we provide the guidance you need without the cost of a full-time HR department.

We've worked with over 200 organisations throughout our two decades of practice, many remaining clients from our earliest days. This longevity reflects our commitment to building genuine partnerships rather than transactional relationships.

Flexible HR Services Designed for Altrincham SMEs

Pay As You Go HR Support

Growing businesses don't always need ongoing HR support - sometimes you just need expert advice for a specific situation. Our flexible pay-as-you-go service means you access professional HR guidance exactly when you need it, paying only for the time you use. Perfect for handling disciplinary matters, reviewing contracts, advising on restructures, or addressing unexpected employee relations challenges.

Retainer-Based HR Partnership

For businesses requiring regular HR support, our retainer packages provide consistent access to dedicated HR expertise at a predictable monthly cost. You'll work with the same consultant who understands your business culture, your team dynamics, and your strategic objectives - becoming a true extension of your leadership team.

What our clients say

"Truly excellent HR service and support"

The support, knowledge and guidance that Katie and the team at P3 provide to the business has proven truly invaluable. They really do become your right hand for everything HR. Although outsourced, the service and support provided is truly embedded into the business to become a key part of the business and the team, both for myself and our employees. Thank you P3PM!

L Carter

"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.

Luke McDuff

"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.

Graham

"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.

Katie Yates

"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.
