About Adastra

Our Belief

Our clients are everything to us and because we work with such a variety of people, industries and professions, no one service fits all.  We listen to what our clients want to achieve and how they want to do it.  We make sure we understand their culture and their strategy and then we learn as much as we can about the business owner. 

What are they good at? What are they not confident about?  What are their concerns?  This helps us understand how we can support them in the best possible way!

Adastra HR was born from a genuine desire to work with small businesses with the aim of providing the type of HR support each individual business needs yet without the full time salary costs.  Fraught with process and
time-consuming work, we wanted to take HR away from the business owners to allow them to do what they do best and the reason they started their business in the first place. 

With the emphasis being on
how we do it and a team of people who are not only qualified HR professionals, but also have a real understanding of running a business, we provide everything our clients need, including being a sounding board and often going over and above, because it’s what we do and we know our clients appreciate it.
