Real HR Support From People Who Get Small Business
HR support that works for SMEs — without the big company price tag.
Argan HR started with one thing: a belief that small businesses deserve the same quality of HR support as big companies — without the big company price tag.
We’re an HR consultancy that works exclusively with SMEs. We know what it’s like to run a business where you’re the managing director, the HR department, the health and safety officer, and the person who fixes the printer. We’re here to take the HR part off your plate.
How It Works
When you work with Argan HR, you get a named consultant who knows your business inside out. They’re the person you’ll speak to when you have a question, the person who’ll draft your contracts and policies, and the person who’ll guide you through the difficult conversations that come with managing people.
We work with businesses across manufacturing, care, professional services, and trades — and we speak plain English, not HR jargon.
Behind your consultant, you’ve got a team. We have specialist employment law consultants for the complex stuff — TUPE, tribunals, settlement agreements — so you’re never left without the right expertise when it matters most.
How We’re Different
You get a named consultant, not a call centre. Your consultant knows your business, your team, and your policies. You’re not explaining your situation from scratch every time you ring.
We do the work, not just the advice. We don’t send you a template and wish you luck. We write your handbook, draft your letters, attend your meetings, and handle the paperwork.
We keep you current without you lifting a finger. When employment law changes, we update your documents. You don’t need to track legislation — that’s our job.
We’re straight with you. If something needs sorting, we’ll tell you. If you’re fine, we’ll tell you that too. No unnecessary work, no inflated invoices.
Our Story
Argan HR was founded by Sue Butterworth, who spent over 20 years supporting SMEs with their HR and employment law needs. When Sue decided to step back from running the business day-to-day, Argan became part of 7Central Ltd, led by Ric George. Sue still works with us as a specialist consultant, and her experience and client relationships remain a core part of what makes Argan work.
Today, Argan HR is focused on one thing: giving small business owners the confidence that their people management is handled properly, so they can focus on running their business.
