Company Restructuring Services that follow the law and get it done properly
For directors and business owners running redundancies, role changes or wider reorganisations who need the legal process managed end to end.
What's included in this service
Company Restructuring Services covering one role or fifty. We plan the restructure, draft selection criteria, manage consultation meetings, and deliver every letter from at-risk notification to final outcome - so the process is fair, defensible and legally sound.

Plan the change legally
We confirm the business reason, map affected roles, set consultation timelines against employment law, and advise on TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations) where employees are transferring in or out. Selection criteria written to be objective and defensible.
One clear, prioritised consultation plan
A documented consultation process covering a minimum of three meetings per affected employee, meeting agendas, alternative employment exploration, and every letter drafted - at-risk, invitation, outcome, appeal, and redundancy payment calculations.
Handle appeals and what comes next
Final outcome letters issued, appeal rights confirmed, and appeal hearings managed if an employee challenges the decision. Post-restructure support for communications, remaining team stability, and any follow-on grievances.
Blended programmes

Kellaway
Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Yard operations, loading safety, and customer-facing risk management. We understand the unique challenges of trade retail environments.
Warehousing & Logistics
MHE-intensive operations, racking safety, and loading bay risks. You need someone who can induct peak-season temps fast and ensure your night shift isn't a compliance blind spot.
Manufacturing & Engineering
24/7 production, machinery guarding, hot work, and COSHH exposure. You need someone who understands the tension between output targets and keeping people safe - and how to manage both.
Garden Centres
Seasonal displays changing weekly. Family footfall alongside forklift operations. Food hygiene in the café. Whether you're one site or ten - your risks are real and your compliance matters. You need someone who sees the full picture, not just the obvious risks.
Metal Stockholders
Heavy lifting, cutting operations, and materials handling across indoor and outdoor yards. Crane safety, manual handling risks, and COSHH exposure from oils and coatings. Your consultant knows this environment - not just the regulations that apply to it.
Childcare & Nurseries
Safeguarding requirements, fire safety in buildings designed for small children, food hygiene, outdoor play areas, and regulatory inspections from Ofsted as well as HSE. Your risk profile is unique - your consultant should be too.
