An Introduction to Ask Danni - Virtual HR and Operations Support
What I Do
I support small businesses with HR and day-to-day operational support, providing flexible outsourced HR support when you need it. I help you manage people, processes, and compliance in a way that’s clear, manageable, and right for your business.
Why Work With Me?
Choosing an outsourced support provider is a big decision. I understand the importance of trust, clarity, and working with someone who understands the realities of running a small business.
I give advice in plain English, focused on what matters most and what will actually work for your business. I don’t hide behind technical language or default to “the law says” without context. My aim is to help you understand what’s required and take action with confidence.
With over 20 years’ experience, I understand how HR, health and safety, and day-to-day operations fit together in real businesses. I offer flexible freelance support that fits your business, without the cost or commitment of hiring an employee.
I work to the professional standards you’d expect, with the relevant registrations and insurance in place, so you can feel confident in the support you’re receiving.
Above all, I focus on building trusted relationships and making a genuine, practical difference, offering support that’s focused on what really matters.

Pricing
I believe in keeping things straightforward and cost-effective. I offer flexible, ad hoc support at a fixed hourly rate, or ongoing retained support through a simple monthly package.
Managing people can sometimes be complex, but getting the right HR support shouldn’t be. My retained packages give you practical advice, reassurance and support when you need it, helping you stay compliant and deal with people issues confidently.
If you only need occasional support, my pay-as-you-go option may be the right fit.

All retained packages include updates on key employment law changes and are provided on a monthly rolling basis with no long-term contract.
Packages are subject to an initial discussion to ensure the level of support is appropriate for your business. Where your requirements are particularly complex or fall outside the package scope, I will explain this clearly and provide a separate quotation before any additional work is undertaken.
Additional hours are charged at £80 per hour.
Unused hours do not roll over to the following month.
On-site support, project work, or more complex case management may be quoted separately where required.
If you can’t see a package that fits your needs, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to provide a personalised quote tailored to your business.

Support when things don’t go to plan
Sometimes things go wrong unexpectedly, I offer a free initial advice call with no strings attached.
