County consultant puts Zest into local businesses
A well-known Shropshire business specialist has announced the launch of her own business venture after stepping down from a senior position held with another county consultancy for the last five years.
Ellen Morley will however continue to work as a Consultant to The Business Company through her new business, Zest People Solutions, which was set up specifically to provide practical support for local businesses in areas such as human resources and in-company training and coaching.
With a background in human resources and more than 25 years’ experience of providing business support across a wide range of sectors, Ellen is aiming to offer tailored solutions through Zest, linked to particular business needs.
Speaking about her new venture Ellen said: “The current economic climate demands that businesses perform at the highest level if they are to remain competitive, which usually means making the most of their people resource. Through my discussions with local business owners over the past eighteen months I recognised a need and a gap in the market for a practical, hands-on, realistically priced resource that businesses could call upon as and when required. As a result of that, Zest was born.”
Since starting Zest People Solutions Ellen has worked on a variety of projects, including the provision of HR guidance in disciplinary matters and updating of policies and company handbooks to incorporate the latest employment legislation changes. This in turn has led to her coaching key personnel in such as managing change and difficult behaviour. Her support through Zest is, she says, proving to be a catalyst for energising people, capability and mindsets. Based in Bridgnorth, Ellen can be contacted on 07973 318265, email ellen@zest-forbusiness.com
