McMillan & Associates expands HR team

York-based HR consultancy McMillan & Associates has appointed Siobhan Clarke and Jo Grewer as HR managers to support its continued growth.

Siobhan brings more than 25 years’ experience across large organisations, start-ups and specialist sectors, having progressed to senior HR business partner and director-level roles.

She said: “I take a calm, pragmatic approach to HR, listening, understanding the issue, and always finding a way forward for clients. 

“I love the variety of working as a consultant as it gives me the opportunity to work across a wide range of businesses, and that breadth of experience gives me a broader view on issues that businesses face.”

Jo adds further expertise from FMCG, education, healthcare and the charity sector, alongside experience running her own consultancy supporting SMEs.

Jo added: “I’ve worked across a broad range of sectors, supporting organisations including large multinationals through to SMEs. 

“This variety in experience gives me the advantage of being able to add value to businesses from the get-go so they see an immediate ROI. 

“I was drawn to the role due to the strength of the team and its commitment to flexible working and wellbeing. 

“The dynamic nature of the role is particularly appealing, and I’m motivated by the variety it offers. 

“I look forward to continuing to make a meaningful impact for clients while contributing to the growth of our consultancy business.”

Their appointments strengthen the firm’s capability as it continues to expand its support for businesses across Yorkshire and beyond.

Founder and director Natalie McMillan added: “I’m excited to welcome Siobhan and Jo to our growing team. 

“They have both slotted straight in and already it feels as though they’ve been here for years.

“They each bring extensive experience to the business and, crucially, share our values of pragmatism, empathy and being genuinely invested in clients’ success. 

“Their expertise will play a key role in helping more SMEs in the region build confident and high-performing teams.”
