About Us

Amanda started Claritas HR & Training back in May 2012 as she wanted to

support small business with their HR requirements. Having been a HR Manager for a number of years in different sectors she was passionate about small businesses having access to the same level of HR support that larger businesses have.

Amanda loves working with business owners to support them as they grow their business and teams. With her years of experience she is able to help them with many aspects of their team development from helping them take on the right people for their team to promoting people into new roles as they develop and the business needs change.

Every business is different and Amanda enjoys putting the right HR practices in place for that business. All documents are produced to be specific to the needs of that business as well as ensuring they are legally compliant.

When she is not working Amanda enjoys watching F1, rugby (avid Wasps fan) and tennis. Another passion is gardening, taking her garden from quite a plain garden to one that is full of flowers and a haven for the bees.

Amanda has two charities that mean a lot to her and they are Cancer Research UK and the MS Society which is why she makes a £50.00 donation to them every time a new client comes on board.

Tracey joined Claritas HR & Training in May 2022, bringing with her a wealth of experience. Tracey has worked in Human Resources as Cluster People and Development Business Partner and has been delivering training for over 25 years. She has worked with private and public sectors across United Kingdom in a wide variety of industries, across different levels.

Tracey passionately strives to improve performance through people with their development. She designs and delivers learning to be effective, impactful, fun and interactive. She believes that when you are having fun, you will push yourself into your uncomfortable zone without realising it. She creates a safe space for you to have an open, creative, inquisitive mind throughout her sessions.

Her favourite subjects are Mental Health, Wellbeing, Menopause, Diversity, Unconscious Bias, Customer Service, the list goes on! Go to our Learning and Development page as this is what she trains with us. She likes to work in partnership with you to understand your business first to see how she can support your company. She shows her knowledge and passion through each workshop/session.

When she is not working, she enjoys gardening, reading, Lego, seeing family and friends and still completing Race for Life for Cancer Research every year for the past 20 years.

Tracey loves to help people and she has recently joined Leukaemia UK on the Patient Experience Advisory Panel, to support the research into blood cancer and help support anyone going through Leukaemia. She is also a Dementia Friend Champion.

Katie started her Virtual Assistant business in 2020 during COVID. Her previous dog walking business was a victim of the lockdown, and it wasn’t old enough to receive grant assistant from the Government. She ended up having to close that business and had to think on her feet because there were bills to pay.

Around Katie’s dog walking business, she helped a local bookkeeper with her admin. It was her client that suggested she started a Virtual Assistant business – something that could survive if we had another lockdown. The rest, they say, is history!

Katie’s background before dog walking was in charity dealing with members of the public. The skills she developed from previous jobs worked well in her Virtual Assistant business, meaning that she can build a rapport quickly with her clients. Katie’s passion is to help clients to recover their work life balance and to make more time for them to spend as they please. No one started their business just to sit and do admin (well, except Katie…).

Katie loves working with Claritas HR & Training – “They are a wonderful team to work with and I enjoy helping them to keep on top of their admin”.

In her spare time she enjoys running, open water swimming, reading, and gardening. She volunteers for local charities and like to give back to the community where she can.
