Empowering businesses with practical, people-first HR solutions.

Confident, collaborative support that aligns commercial goals with compassionate communication.

My Background

I’m Kristy West, an experienced HR Consultant and Founder of Alika & Co.

I’ve held my Masters degree in Personnel and Development since 2010 and am a Chartered Manager of the CIPD. A lifelong learner, I’m also a qualified Workplace Mediator, proud Mental Health First Aider, and, in 2025, completed a Level 5 Degree in Applied Business Management.

My Experience

I’ve got over 20 years experience across the private, public, and charitable sectors, working in industries including manufacturing, retail, hospitality, care, cleaning, security and events management.

No two days are ever the same in HR and my experience across such a broad range of sectors has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and insight – ready to share with you!

My Passion

I love what I do. Not just because HR positively impacts businesses    (it definitely does!) but also because great HR support positively affects employees. And let’s face it, for most of us, without employees, there isn’t a business! 

I believe that engaging and supporting your employees is essential to maintaining strong working relationships, and my guidance strikes a balance between commercial decision-making and people-centered communication.

My Vision

I offer confident, no-nonsense, individually focused HR support that suits your needs, at the time you need it. I’m your expert external HR provider who feels like part of the team.
