New name for award-winning Telford-based HR company

An award-winning HR company has a new name as it continues to go from strength to strength.

New name for award-winning Telford-based HR company

Telford-based HR Solutions Shropshire is now Wright HR – reflecting the fact that it now has company status and more than 100 clients.

Wright HR founder Ishbel Lapper said clients would continue to receive the same high-quality service but that the new name reflected the business’s ongoing development.

“This is a really exciting time for the business and the change of name to Wright HR reflects that.

“We became a limited company last year and have continued to expand our client base so that we now have well over 100 retained and ad-hoc businesses on our books.

“Bringing our trading name into line with the limited company name is a natural next step and gives us a sharper identity, a refreshed brand and the chance to update our website at the same time.

“Wright is my maiden name, so this new identity feels far more personal and rooted in who I am and my vision for the future.

“For clients, nothing will change in terms of service. I’ll continue to deliver the no‑nonsense, common‑sense HR and employment advice that has been my hallmark throughout my career – advice that has earned national awards and recognition.”

In November, the company appointed a new office manager, Leanne Taylor, as part of its expansion.

It won silver at the national 2025 Best Businesswoman Awards for best overall business and Ishbel was runner up in the best businesswoman in business services category last year. The company was also shortlisted in the 2025 British HR awards.
