Nancy and her team have long been engaged with Yorkshire Ladies Links, having recently showcased their expertise at the Yorkshire Voices Conference.
Now, as proud members of the newly formed group, they’re excited to strengthen their connections and continue supporting businesses with their HR expertise.
Doodle HR has been created to make HR affordable and available to all companies, no matter how small. The team at Doodle HR takes a very pragmatic approach, working closely with clients and considering themselves an integral part of their management team.
Founded by Nancy Prest in 2013, Doodle HR is based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Nancy is an experienced HR professional with CIPD graduate qualifications at the master’s level, a Diploma in Employment Law, a Chartered Fellowship, and over 20 years of experience in public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. Passionate about HR, Nancy brings a thorough understanding of regulation and policy development and the importance of compliance for small to medium-sized businesses.
Key HR projects include the establishment of HR departments and their operational processes, the design, delivery, and communication of benefits packages, as well as the design and implementation of new HR and Payroll systems such as SAP, Breathe HR, and People HR.
Working alongside Employment Law Solicitors, Nancy continues to update and expand her HR skills to provide clients with expert, up-to-date practical advice on all day-to-day Human Resources issues as part of the HR Inner Circle with renowned Barrister and LBC presenter, Daniel Barnett. She also collaborates with local recruitment agencies to enable preferential rates for clients.
In 2015, Marie Davies joined the business, becoming Nancy’s business partner in 2019. As an HR professional, Marie has over 20 years of experience gained in both public and private sector organisations. A Chartered Member of the CIPD, she specialises in providing practical HR advice covering all aspects of managing people.
Marie applies a calm and common-sense approach when working with Directors and Managers, focusing on finding the right solutions to their HR-related issues. The support and guidance provided aim to empower and support organisations in managing and developing their people for both current and future needs. Using her knowledge and experience, Marie’s key skill is her ability to work closely with people, giving them the confidence to carry out their roles effectively and fairly in an ever-changing HR landscape.
In partnership with their in-house expert, Doodle HR also supports SMEs by reviewing health and safety risks for businesses, identifying issues before they become problems, and assisting businesses with the introduction of health and safety training, policies, and management systems to ensure compliance.
Huge thank you to Melanie and her team for organising such a wonderful day at the Yorkshire Voices Conference. We had a lovely time catching up with old friends and making new ones! The environment Melanie has created through Yorkshire Ladies Links is incredibly supportive for women in business throughout Yorkshire (and beyond!) - Doodle Hr
