Our vision
For us, it’s far more than just being another customer number in a database.
KMC HR was founded by Kerry McCarthy, with over 20 years’ strategic and operational HR experience across multiple UK industries. KMC focuses on helping organisations build strong, compliant, people‑centred foundations that actually work in the real world.
We become an integral arm of your business
We aim to be different from the national HR providers by building a strong relationship and trust with our clients over time. We are there for the quick chats or the long term planning. Whether that is 5 minutes on the phone to answer your queries, or helping you strategise your HR function, we become an intergral part of their team, taking the time to truly understand your organisation, your people and your challenges.

What KMC Does For Your Business
We pride ourselves on offering a personal, face-to-face service, meeting clients regularly and building strong working partnerships that last. With us, you will never be answered by a robotic agent or by people you have never met that know nothing of your business. With us, it really is just good ol’ fashioned personal service.

"Kerry provided excellent support in reviewing and updating our staff handbook and policies. She was so easy to work with throughout the process. Kerry quickly understood our organisation and ensured everything was clear, consistent, and fit for purpose. Her attention to detail and practical approach made a real difference, and the final documents were of a high standard. I would highly recommend Kerry to any organisation."
