HR Support and training
British Marine are working in partnership with People Powered HR to offer HR support for your business.
We understand that every business has different needs when it comes to HR support. That’s why we offer two flexible options: Banked Hours for ad-hoc requirements and a Monthly Retainer for consistent, ongoing support.
■ Option 1 – Banked Hours
Get expert HR support when you need it, without committing to a fixed retainer.
• Purchase a bank of 10 or more hours at £130 per hour + VAT
• Hours are valid for 12 months
• Buy more hours whenever you need them
• If you move to a retainer, any unused hours will be deducted from your first monthly invoice
Service Levels (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm):
■ High priority – same day (suspensions, payroll queries, contracts)
■ Medium priority – within 24 hours (employee relations queries)
■ Low priority – within 48 hours (policy updates, reports)
Best for: Businesses with occasional or unpredictable HR requirements.
■ Option 2 – Monthly Retainer (for consistent support)
For proactive and consistent HR support, our Monthly Retainer is the most cost-effective way to work with us.
From £350 + VAT per month includes:
• Unlimited advice via phone and email
• Online or onsite HR support
• Updates to policies, contracts and handbooks in line with legislation changes
• Support with people strategy – aligning business goals with people goals
• Handling of complex employee relations cases (disciplinary, grievance, performance management, redundancies)
• Access to our HR system with full implementation support

We understand that every business has different needs when it comes to HR support. That’s why we offer an audit of your Employment Contracts and Handbook.
Why have an Audit?
Protect your business, stay compliant. Our HR audit of your employment contracts and handbooks ensures you’re always up to date with the latest legislation, while removing outdated clauses that could leave you exposed to legal risk. Stay protected, compliant, and future-ready with maximum peace of mind.
