Cliff Rendell Founder of Next Gen HR

I’ve worked in HR since I was 17 and love the broad and diverse variety of work that HR covers. Through my varied roles, I’ve seen first-hand how people issues can either strengthen a business strategy or agenda – or quietly derail it.

I work alongside small and growing businesses as a trusted partner, whether that’s ongoing HR support or stepping in when you need immediate help. My approach is simple: Clear advice, calm support.

Paul Fowle Co-Founder of Next Gen HR

With an MSc in HR Management & Business and many years spent in fast-paced corporate environments, I’ve seen first-hand how the right people strategies transform organisations. I understand what truly drives teams to thrive.

I listen, ask the right questions to fully understand the heart of the issue as that’s where meaningful progress begins. My goal is to give you clear, well-considered options so you feel confident and in control of the path forward.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Find out why we are trusted by our clients.

“From helping us establish our staffing structure and company policies to providing guidance on recruitment, interviews, holiday entitlement, and employment matters, their support has been invaluable. Their knowledge and expertise have given us the confidence to make informed decisions as our business has evolved and expanded from a small start up to becoming a limited company with 15 pet care professionals. Cliff has been fantastic in helping us create and maintain the policies that keep our business running smoothly, while Paul has been a constant source of support through staffing changes, business growth, and ongoing HR requirements.
Quite simply, we couldn’t have built the business we have today without their guidance, professionalism, and unwavering support.”

Gemma Cardwell Founder & Director Gemma & Jodi’s Pet Services

“Working with Cliff, Paul, and Next Gen HR has taken away the everyday stresses and time required for HR, enabling me to focus on running my business. Cliff is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date with all the latest legislation, so I don’t need to worry, and can trust him to get on with the various tasks in hand. His personal approach and hands-on service means that my team of co-workers in our design agency are supported at every step of the way.”

Joe Nixon Founder & Director Arch Creative

“Cliff is the ultimate HR professional; experienced, knowledgeable, fair and commercial. His focus on the detail always ensures the right things are focussed on and actioned, and that there is a balance between the needs of both the business and the individuals. He is passionate about people development and will always maximise opportunities for team development and growth, as well as ensuring he doesn’t neglect his own professional development.  Always a pleasure to work with, Cliff will be an asset to any business looking for HR and people support or project management.”

Sarah Fountain Founder Fountain People & Perfomance

“Working with Cliff at Next Gen HR has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. We engaged them to help us consolidate and modernise our employment policies, which had previously been split across two different parts of our business. Not only did they produce a single, unified set of policies that are clear, engaging, and easy for our employees to understand, but they also provided practical, user-friendly guides for our managers. Their approach was collaborative, efficient, and highly professional. They took the time to understand our culture and operational needs, ensuring the final documents truly reflect who we are as a business. We’re now confident that our policies are compliant, accessible, and supportive of both employees and managers. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Next Gen HR again and highly recommend their services.”

Nicola Mitson Head of People Operations Campions

“As a small family business, HR can feel like a minefield – we simply don’t have the in-house expertise to navigate it confidently. Next Gen HR changed that completely. From the very first conversation, Cliff and the team took the time to understand how we operate and gave us clear, practical advice that made sense for a business of our size. They’ve been brilliant advisors throughout, and more than anything, they’ve given us genuine peace of mind knowing that our people and our processes are in safe hands. We recommend them highly.”
