Sue Love has teamed up with Derek Bradbury to form Bradbury Love Associates which brings together their combined HR Director level experience to offer strategic HR support to larger SMEs to help in business transformations and people projects.
Our Experience
With a combined experience of 55 years, Derek Bradbury and Sue Love have worked across a range of sectors including retail, engineering, leisure, FMCG, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, direct sales and the public sector in roles at a strategic HR level in large corporate companies.
Both are trained Executive Leadership mentors and coaches, are Fellows of the Chartered Institute People Development and run their own successful independent HR consultancy businesses.
They have joined together as they recognise their complimentary commercial, operational and HR skills gained in ‘blue chip’ businesses. They understand the needs of SMEs.

Business Proposition
We support leaders through the conflict of making essential yet unpopular business changes affecting their people especially where there is limited in- house expertise.
We help to overcome the emotional issues affecting people that hold business back and find a plan that enables them to still take their people with them.
With many years’ experience, we apply our expertise with a commercial and pragmatic approach, to create the best plan to achieve the desired outcome whether it affects one employee, a team or a site.
We take the role that best supports the requirements as either a Coach, Mentor, Adviser, or ‘hands on’ consultant working on site (if needed).
