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

See profileWe’ve worked with Limelite for a while now and had a fair few different issues crop up. They’ve been helpful with all of them.
Laura, Nicky and Helen have supported us with different things. Some big, needing online meetings or a face to face visit to our premises with managers and employees. Others smaller, sorted with a quick, reassuring and factual email.
Limelite have reassured us that our approach to HR, being compassionate first, is the right one. Now we also know we’re ticking the right boxes and using the right language in meetings and in writing, so we’re properly covered.
Since the changes to the Employment Act, we’ve asked Limelite to rewrite our employee handbook to reflect the new legislation and the way work has changed. It’ll be a useful tool for us going forward.
AmyI’ve recommended Limelite to other business owners and I’ll keep doing it.

Helen has been very helpful with our recruitment and has helped me see the importance of pitching our company to potential applicants. We are still recruiting for our skilled positions, but I have tweaked my approach to this, and I think I have seen a change in the response, and I have seen candidates keener to arrange trials with us.I have more understanding of what we should highlight about the company and now, on initially reaching out to candidates take a moment to talk about the company and why it is nice to work there.Jess Queenan

Severn Arts asked Limelite HR for their assistance to create a Culture Book as part of their Workforce Planning support programme, funded through WCC, to assist with the onboarding process for new staff members. We sent over our current Employee Handbook, along with our Tone of Voice policy and information about the organisation, as it was a text-only document and quite laborious to read through.Limelite HR remodelled it into a useful document with images, photos and highlighted text to match our website, creating a more branded put-together document for us to use. We are starting to roll it out with the new starters that will join us in January.It’s saved us valuable time and resources and is now a live document that we can amend and update as necessary. It’s also encouraged us to review the information in the Handbook and update relevant sections for which we are now scheduling regular reviews.Jude Wild

From understanding DISC profiles to motivating a high-performing team, this course equipped me with the knowledge and practical tools to be a better manager. I am much better prepared for any potential issues that may arise, as well as understanding how to get the best out of my team. The Limelite team are so friendly and approachable, with a wealth of experience to share. Really enjoyed the course – thanks to all involved!
