Meet the HR Consultancy Team

The people behind the people stuff.

Limelite HR & Learning was founded in 2020 by Lisa Murphy FCIPD, and we’ve grown into one of the most recognised HR and people development consultancies in the Midlands. We work with everyone from local SMEs and charities to some big names you’ll recognise.

We’re not a faceless outsourced HR department or a call centre. We’re a small, brilliant team of real HR professionals who actually care. Every client we work with gets senior, hands-on support from people who’ve been in their shoes and know what good looks like.

We’re anything but your average HR team.

We’ve Won a Few Awards Too

We’re proud of what we’ve built since 2020, and it’s lovely when other people recognise our achievements.

Finalist, Excellence in Professional Services, Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, 2026

Organisations That Trust Us

We love working with local small and medium businesses, but we’ve also had the privilege of working with some big names you might recognise.

Our clients have included McLaren Automotive; Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons – Raymond Blanc’s two Michelin Star Country House; 22 Bishopsgate – the Tallest Skyscraper in London City (yes, the one on The Apprentice); NHS Charities Together and a leading national news channel, with whom we’ve delivered two large organisational change projects so far.

Whilst we love working with well known organisations, we have great relationships with our local council and have also helped over forty start-up and SME organisations across Worcestershire to access HR support completely free of charge using government funding.

The people side of their businesses. Sorted.

Limelite Giving Back

We believe great organisations do more than turn a profit, they become an active community member. CEO, Lisa Murphy FCIPD, previously volunteered as Chair of the Hereford and Worcester CIPD, supporting HR professionals across the region, and was also trustee for a local charity and a school Governor. In 2025, Limelite proudly became the headline sponsor for our client, the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust’s, Charity Ball. And we’re delighted to announce that for 2026/27 we’re now sponsors of the Hereford and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce’s Professional Services Forum, supporting professionals in sectors we work with every day.

When we say values-led, we mean it.

HR partnerships that build amazing workplaces

Limelite HR held a group session as part of its management development programme for a number of us from an SME, where we all work remotely.
Rebecca Miles, Managing Editor, Business and Vertical IT Publications

Limelite HR & Learning recently supported me, our Trustees and our team at the Maternal Mental Health Alliance through a review of our terms and conditions. It was a great experience from start to finish. Their guidance was balanced and they really understood the nuance of our specific situation as a small charity. Relationships are at the heart of all they do and this is reflected in such a positive outcome. They are incredibly pro-active, write brilliant and succinct reports. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Laura Seebohm, CEO
Maternal Mental Health Alliance
I would highly recommend Lisa to other organisations. Her down to earth style of delivery means that she can bring the best out in any team.

Limelite have delivered two training courses for us at University College Birmingham over the past 18 months; management toolkit training to upskill a group of less experienced managers to help them succeed in their management roles and bespoke skills training to our entire management population on the launch of our new performance management process. Lisa and her team worked closely with us to understand our institution’s specific needs and challenges to create training that was relevant and impactful. On both programmes the training was delivered in an interactive, engaging, and inclusive way which encouraged discussion and created opportunities for knowledge sharing and learning. The training received excellent feedback from our managers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Limelite to deliver training for us again in the future.
