About You Consultancy
What is You Consultancy?
You Consultancy is an HR and Organisational Development (OD) firm based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, working with SMEs, Not-for-Profit, and Public Sector organisations across the UK. The agency operates under the trading name "You Consultancy" for legal entity The HR & OD Consultancy Ltd (Company Registration Number 14955545), and uses the strapline "It's all about the people."
The agency has been delivering HR and OD work since 2009 and frames itself as "Oxfordshire's leading visionary HR and OD Consultancy." Services are clustered into four areas: Effective Everyday HR Solutions, Nurturing Employee Wellbeing, Culture Change & Transformation, and People Growth & Development. Engagement models include Retained services, project-based work, or Pay As You Go (PAYG) for one-off needs. The discovery audit (priced from £1,999+VAT, refunded against retained services) walks clients through findings and prioritised recommendations.
Long-tenure clients quoted on the homepage include Worle Community Sports Centre (charity), B4 (family business), Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership (engaged post-TUPE from local authority), and NHS Surrey Heartlands (partnership since April 2012, supporting CCG → ICB transition).
Where will I work?
You Consultancy is based at Howbery Business Park, Wallingford, OX10 8BA. The team operates flexibly between the Wallingford HQ, remote, and client sites — the about page explicitly says "We work on-site wherever needed because you can't beat 'togetherness.'" Flexibility is built into the operating model from day one.
What is the team like?
The 12-person team is led by Principal HR & OD Consultant Jonna Mundy (the named lead in press coverage and on the team page), with Director Ian, Senior HR & OD Consultants Jen and Tina, HR & OD Consultant Sarah, HR Consultants E-J, Jennie, and Jim, OD Consultant Fiona, HR & OD Consultant Debbie, Consultancy Administrator James, and Virtual PA Alice. The team page introductions are warm and personal (Jonna is described as "Industry Expert, Sushi Ninja, Wise Owl"; Tina is "Determined, Fun, Planner"; Fiona is "Innovator. Change Accelerator. Performance Rocket").
The agency's vision is "to be the leading Human Resources (HR) and Organisational Development (OD) Consultancy in Oxfordshire and beyond. Providing services that are of purpose and value, going beyond profit and pursuing good for the community."
Work-Life Balance
You Consultancy adopted a four-day work week in 2023, as reported by the BBC's feature on UK 4-day-week adopters and syndicated through Yahoo News Canada. Founder Jonna Mundy told the BBC: "It's a great staff attraction and benefit from a recruitment and retention perspective, with staff showing more willingness to achieve because everyone is grateful for getting that extra day off a week." Jonna herself takes Mondays off — she uses the time for pilates and seeing friends and family. The pattern is described as more effective for the small team, not less, and an attractive recruitment differentiator.
