Our Founder
Emily Curtis
I’ve spent years fixing the people stuff that keeps leaders awake at night — now I just do it without the corporate noise. I'm your HR partner with a coffee addiction, a to-do list, and a low tolerance for buzzwords or beurocracy. I've worked in HR long enough to know that common sense beats corporate nonsense - every single time. Let's get your people stuff right - with less jargon, and zero drama.

Transforming Businesses with Expert HR Solutions
I’m Emily Curtis, the founder and sole consultant behind SmarterHRsolutions — an independent HR practice built on the belief that great results come from consistency, trust, and genuine partnership.
When you work with me, you work directly with me — from our first conversation to final delivery. That means no handovers, no repetition, and no juggling between multiple contacts. You’ll get one experienced partner who knows your business, understands your goals, and delivers practical, people-first solutions that make sense in the real world.
My experience spans some of the world’s most recognised and fast-moving brands, including Yum! Brands, Amazon, and Starbucks. Over the years, I’ve led HR teams through complex organisational change, transformation, and growth — always with a focus on balancing people, performance, and culture.
Now, through my consultancy, I offer that same expertise to businesses who want flexible, senior-level HR support without the layers. Whether you need help with day-to-day HR delivery, a strategic project, or an experienced voice to guide your organisation through change, I can be as involved as you need — or simply there when you need me.
Based in the UK, I work with clients locally and nationally, providing HR advice that’s pragmatic, confidential, and completely tailored to you.
No big-firm bureaucracy. No endless introductions. Just a trusted partner who gets it — and gets it done.
Ready to Transform Your HR?
Running a business is tough — people, payroll, chaos, caffeine. I get it. You don’t need corporate fluff or a 50-page HR plan; you just need someone who speaks your language and can actually help. No jargon, no judgment, just straight-talking support when you need it. Let’s sort it out together.
