Welcoming Kelly as Head of HR & Training Solutions
Kerry, MD of Castle Employment Group with Kelly, new Head of Castle HR & Training Solutions
We’re pleased to announce that Kelly Allen has joined Castle HR & Training Solutions as Head of HR & Training on a consultancy basis. Kelly brings 17 years’ experience in HR and Employment Law consultancy, working with SMEs across a wide range of sectors. She specialises in practical, commercial support, including mentoring and sound-boarding, training design and delivery, strategic service development, and helping teams streamline operations to scale with confidence.
Kelly’s background in fractional HR leadership and consultancy growth means she understands how to sharpen propositions, strengthen client retention, and embed efficient processes that make a tangible difference day-to-day. That aligns with how we work at Castle: pragmatic, hands-on operational HR support backed by CIPD-qualified and Employment Law expertise, delivered by a Yorkshire-based team that knows the pressures SMEs face.
As we continue to grow across Yorkshire, Kelly will help us enhance our services for engineering and manufacturing businesses, whether you want a partner to “do it with you” or “do it for you”. Expect more high-impact training, sharper HR documentation and processes, and responsive support that protects your business and your people, while giving you back time to focus on performance and growth.
Giving back sits at the heart of Castle, and Kelly shares our commitment to making a positive difference in our region through the initiatives we run across Yorkshire.
A note from Kerry: ““Kelly joining us unlocks more time for the client conversations I value most. Practical problem solving. Clear priorities. Ideas that move businesses forward.
And it strengthens the Castle Partnership. Castle Employment Solutions and Castle HR & Training Solutions working as one team. One joined up partnership, not fragmented support. Recruitment aligned to what your business actually needs. Onboarding that sets people up to succeed. Probation handled with clarity and pace. Policies and contracts that keep up with legislation and how you operate today.
With Kelly’s pace and hands on know-how, we can go deeper with clients across engineering and manufacturing. Smarter training. Tighter compliance. Measurable impact. A whole people solution that protects growth and supports performance across Yorkshire.”
If you’d like to meet Kelly or talk about upcoming HR or training needs, whether it’s performance management, employee relations, management development or a full HR set-up, drop us a line and we’ll set something up.
