4 HR Solutions in short

4 HR Solutions is a Howle-based HR practice selling senior cover without an in-house team. Principal consultant Richard Berry is a Fellow of the profession's chartered body with decades leading HR functions, and the shelf of one-off advice, Partner+ retainer and short-term YourRep packages fits different budgets, from case management to compliance and reward. Our verdict: the strongest all-round outsourced HR choice for West Midlands small and mid-sized employers.

Customer reviews are strong but not deep, with a perfect Google rating across the reviews we hold. The limited company record goes back to 2024 and is there to check. What counts against 4 HR Solutions is thin commercial detail: no published rates or VAT position and no insurance statement on the site.
