Rachel Collar
FOUNDER | HR CONSULTANT
Hi, I’m Rachel.
Let’s get the boring bit over first – both my Degree and Masters are in HR Management, and I’m a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) – so yep I’ve got the qualifications.
More importantly I’ve got the experience too. Frightening to say, but I’ve over a 22-year career in HR, delivering successful HR programmes across the employee lifecycle in both the UK, EMEA and USA.
I’ve partnered with SMEs and global corporations, and thrown in local authority and not-for-profit organisations for good measure too.
I’m a HR chameleon and can adapt to changing environments where I’ve successfully led HR in manufacturing (food, industrial, automotive), distribution, IT outsourcing, telecommunications, insurance and financial services.
I love to connect with other business owners too, that’s why I’m the Co-ost of Business Buzz Northampton. It would be great if you could join me at the next event.
When I do have spare time, I love to go hiking in search of geocaches. As well as keeping fit, I also like to have some down time doing Tai Chi and Pilates.
I live in a motorsport mad house – so it’s ideal being able to hear the action from the Silverstone track when working from my desk.
Last but not least, I’m a fur baby mummy to my rescue cat Buddy AKA the Chief Happiness Officer at Haus of HR. He may even make a special Zoom appearance, for a fee of course!
It’s Award season!

Don’t you mean house?
No we don’t! It’s definitely Haus!
At the Haus of HR, we like to be a little different. Or we might prefer to say a bit more avant-garde (sounds good hey!)
We could say we were influenced by Lady Gaga’s business empire!
But, we just simply wanted to have a name that would enable us to showcase our services, and make you feel welcome with a more personal and friendly service.
Our door is always open at the Haus of HR….
