Acquisition International - Business Excellence Awards 2022 23 Feb22523 Best HR Support Provider - London he establishment of Petaurum HR began where any other successful business story starts - sitting within a Costa Coffee. Pondering the name of the potential company, Adam Davey and Mark Dyer, Founders and Directors of the business, contemplated the company’s brand – its title and what it would offer and landed on Petaurum HR. Latin for ‘springboard’, Adam and Mark found the perfect name to encapsulate what they wanted to achieve, who they were as individuals and what they wanted to establish with it – providing clients with a springboard to move them towards their business goals. In addition to its unusually inventive name, PetaurumHR is considered an unusual HR provider in that it has developed its own employee benefits portal – Benefits Cloud. Founder Adam Davey expands on this, stating, “Benefits Cloud is a simple to use and flexible online platform that provides access to a range of retail discounts, deals, and offers, enabling the user to save money.” At Petaurum HR, its team of highly professional individuals is integral to the business’s success. Therefore, the company hires others who share the business’s values - people with integrity, who demonstrate loyalty, value people and clients appropriately and promote the concept of the team over the individual. “As Steve Jobs famously said, ‘great things in business are never done by one person: they’re done by a team of people’. Our team are everything, and as captured in our values, we fundamentally believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We each have a different set of skills, experiences and approaches, but the glue that holds us together is our sense of purpose, shared values and commitment to what we’re aiming to achieve,” explains Adam. When the company was first established, Adam and Mark promised themselves and their team that while they will be working hard, they aim to have fun along the way – rewarding performance and its success communally and collectively. The ‘team’ mentality is fundamental to the company. Therefore, Petaurum HR often looks for people who have the attitude and overall values that fit with its unique internal culture – people who have the motivation to succeed individually and overall as a business. For Petaurum HR, the most significant challenges as of late have been the global Covid-19 pandemic and the effects of Brexit. While the latter hasn’t directly affected the company, it has created difficult situations for its clients in terms of the availability of raw materials, T Incorporated over a decade ago, Petaurum HR began its first day of trading on January 1st, 2013, aiming to provide comprehensive HR services from large scale transformations and consulting projects, working with individualised clients, the provision of advice concerning HR and support to its retained clients. Regarded as London’s Best HR Support Provider, Petaurum HR functions with a diversified clientele, with its biggest client serving 27,000 employees and its smallest with just one. availability of overseas workers, and the importing/exporting of goods. “Covid-19 has been a double-edged sword creating hardship and anxiety for some, and opportunity for others. From our perspective, HR was jettisoned to the top of most organisations’ agenda during the pandemic as the true value of what we do became more apparent. We were able to help guide organisations through the complexity and uncertainty we were all facing and help them understand new issues such as furlough and self-isolation,” explains Adam. However, Petaurum HR was able to grab a few opportunities during this time, one of them being the diversification of its platform, Benefits Cloud, expanding to clubs and associations, not just employers. Concerning the expansion, Petaurum HR’s platform saw various clubs unable to deliver their core product (playing or watching sport), therefore, providing Benefits Cloud itself with an opportunity to give back – reinforcing the sense of community at the Club in a virtual way through the communications news feed and additional features. Moreover, Adam and Mark witnessed how charities have struggled during the pandemic and, consequently, decided to provide its standard package free of charge to these charities – employees and volunteers included. Its most notable collaboration and supported efforts have been connected to SimPal, a Cancer support charity in Broadstairs, England – a not-for-profit organisation that has significantly benefited from Petaurum HR’s compassion and platform. For now, Petaurum HR aims to drive further growth in business and within the industry by helping clients achieve their business goals, supporting them with excellent advice and additional services. Subsequently, Petaurum HR will be developing its team recruiting for HR advisers and apprentices. Noted for 2022 will be the continuous expansion and diversification of Benefits Cloud into the Clubs and Associations market and will be supporting its charity partners with its innovation, time, and sponsorship – comprehensive goals that will aid in the company’s increasing business and reputation and support those surrounding and connected to Petaurum HR.
