About Gateway HR & Training
What is Gateway HR & Training?
Gateway HR & Training Ltd is a UK-based outsourced HR and training consultancy "established in 2007 by Managing Director, Emma Wynne. Her vision, to provide a professional, personable service dedicated to helping employers overcome the HR challenges that play a major role in developing a business" (verbatim, gatewayhr.com/about/who-we-are/). Skip forward to 2026 and the team has more than 70 years of combined HR, training and coaching experience.
Gateway's service lines are clearly delineated on their homepage: Crisis (immediate support and advice when something unexpected happens), Outsourced HR Services (the equivalent of an entire HR department, with packages tailored to business size and budget), Training (a diverse range of courses and qualifications), Bespoke Solutions (tailored projects for cultural shifts or change management), and Coaching (individual and team motivation and performance work). Their flagship 2026 offering is a £495 Employment Rights Act compliance package covering all the legislative changes landing in April and October 2026.
The firm differentiates itself from typical outsourced HR providers with a verbatim positioning statement: "Unlike many other outsourced HR providers, we are a real team of people working from real offices. You won't find out that we're giving you scripted advice, or that actually we're just one person working from a home office." Client testimonials on the homepage come from Thom Parker-Marrs (Thomson Broadbent), Donna Smith (Wilcox Fabrications) and Adrian Doran (BakeAway).
Where will I work?
Gateway HR is based at 4 Brisbane House, Corby Gate Business Park, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN17 5JG. The team works hybrid — based around the Corby office with occasional travel (approximately four days a month) to client sites for HR project delivery and training.
