About BrightFolk HR
Dedicated to Guiding People and Growing Potential.
A note from our founder:
With over 15 years’ experience as a strategic HR and talent leader, I’ve supported organisations across specialist sectors including charity, higher education, aviation and healthcare to build strong, people-focused foundations. I bring significant expertise in HR operations, employee relations, recruitment, organisational development, and leadership coaching—always tailored to each organisation’s unique culture and goals. Whether it’s designing practical people strategies, navigating complex HR issues, or helping leaders build high-performing teams, I offer calm, confident support rooted in empathy, professionalism, and results. Now, through BrightFolk HR, I partner with values-led organisations across the North to deliver thoughtful, effective HR solutions that truly make a difference.
Let's work together to Guide People and Grow Potential.
Natalie Smallwood.
Founder. BrightFolk HR.
