Cornerstone Resources Ltd
Cornerstone Resources Ltd is a HR consultancy founded by Rob & Nicci Birley in 2018.
Their combined passion for all things people, as well as their drive to provide fair, flexible and pragmatic support to small businesses and charities, led to Nicci firstly moving out of the in-house corporate world to set up Cornerstone.

Having worked with all sizes and types of businesses, Nicci explains “We are pragmatic and don’t try and sell services that employers don’t need. Integrity is a fundamental principle for us in everything we do. We do not tie customers into lengthy contracts, but instead provide flexible HR advice, when it is needed. We want customers to stay because of the quality of the service we give, not the rigidity of our contracts.”
While HR is their area of expertise, they recognise that every employer needs more to keep them running efficiently. Cornerstone have therefore carefully selected strong business partners to bring a joined up offering to their customers, in areas such as HR systems, Recruitment, Accountancy, Business Workflow Management, H&S, Safeguarding and Occupational Health.

WHY CORNERSTONE? A cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a building - all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure. Nicci explains that they believe that people are the cornerstone of any organisation and that the service that Cornerstone offers to employers is invaluable to their success. They believe that their flexibility, integrity and pragmatism set them apart
