Claire Winstone

“I am a senior, CIPD accredited HR Professional who has built up over 15 years’ experience across a variety of industry sectors (ranging from leisure and hospitality to large global financial institutions) and continents, in fact my HR career started in the Middle East.

I am very much an HR generalist, with my breadth of experience built from stand-alone HR roles to Business Partnering C-Suite business leaders, across all HR disciplines (employee relations, reward and benefits, advisory, talent acquisition, organisational change).

I consider myself highly organised, approachable, and trusted to ‘get the job done’. I enjoy building relationships and partnering a business to help it achieve its strategic goals, in a manner which is both sympathetic and engaging for the employees.

Having had an extended career break to have, and care for my two children, one of which has a complex disability, it is refreshing to work as a Consultant for Starford. Starford is a forward-thinking organisation which has recognised that the traditional model of work no longer exists. You can balance family needs, whilst still offering a superior service to your clients.

Outside of work, when not running around after 2 young boys, I enjoy fitness, baking and going anywhere the sun is shining.”
