What my clients say about working with me
I’ve had the pleasure working with Niki over the past couple of months at Weetabix where she lead a couple of cross functional projects. Niki consistently demonstrated excellent leadership, engagement and communication, effectively managing cross functional teams to deliver on project objectives on time and within budget.
I found Niki to be diligent and considerate, a self-motivated and committed HR professional, always respecting the existing and permanent team, whilst driving to results. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and indeed bringing her back to ‘the Bix’.
Stuart Branch, Group People & Technology Director, Weetabix Ltd.
I worked closely with Niki for around 4 years. During that time, she played a fundamental role in setting up our people policies, process and strategy for our fledgling managed house pub business. She was also central in helping us develop positive transformation in our culture, values & purpose, during a period of great change within our company. As well as being a technical expert in all things HR, her huge empathy ensured she was always able to keep a track on the moral and sentiment within the business. This was especially evident during the Pandemic when we were in total lock down. She continually supported me during a very difficult time and her sage council was crucial in the decisions we took as a team. As an individual, she constantly displays a great attention to detail, is naturally people focused and as a result, is a great team player. It was always a pleasure to work with her.
Peter Wells, Group MD, Wells & Co Ltd.

Nicola Kleinmann, Head of People
Niki was an integral part of getting our HR and People Operations off the ground in the UK. Her breadth and depth of experience meant she quickly became a trusted advisor. She was proactive, organized, diligent and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Niki's services and hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future.
Clay Wertheimer, Head of UK and Europe
Niki was a huge asset in helping set up our UK HR operations. As an American-based company, we needed someone who could advise on UK norms. Niki was able to guide us through a number of areas, from recruiting and benefits to legal requirements. She helped us tailor documentation, researched labor markets, and in some cases helped recruit, all with a smile, great attitude, and quick turnaround time. I loved working with Niki and would recommend her services to anyone looking for HR support.Niki was a huge asset in helping set up our UK HR operations.
