A warm welcome

As Mustard's founder, I've handpicked a team of expert consultants who share my commitment to high standards and integrity. We're a small team of seasoned HR practitioners who take a pragmatic yet conscientious approach to provide every client with a first-rate experience.

Lucy Feavearyear

Rooted in East Anglia, here at Mustard we plant the seeds of effective people management, providing practical tools and consultancy services to help businesses thrive.

Our commitment to cultivating trust and delivering top quality support, makes Mustard the trusted accompaniment, not just locally, but to our clients across the UK, helping them to navigate complex employment issues with clarity and confidence and grow a strong, resilient work environment.

Who we work with

Growing Businesses

When they first come to us, many clients don't have any in-house HR support and may not be in a position to justify this.

Since they've grown, however, they've recognised that they need help to ensure their employment practices are compliant. They want to do the right thing. They want to work on becoming the best employer they can be. What that looks like will vary depending on a number of factors - budget, time, industry, sector etc.

The one thing that we assure our clients, is that if they're open to working with Mustard, they can be sure they are on the right path to creating an organisation to be proud of.

Established People Teams

Other clients already have their own HR function but require independent or specialist support.

Having an additional pair of hands (or two) when needed can be a relief for HR Practitioners, particularly those in stand-alone roles, who often find themselves getting bogged down with case management or trying to be all things to all people.

Using a trusted consultant for specialist support, or as cover for absence in the team, helps free up their time for value-added activities, while keeping the people elements of the organisation running smoothly.

...it was a two way process and time was given to work through differences. I don't think Lucy could have improved on her management of the mediation.

This has been a really positive experience and has changed my workplace environment in a positive way.
