About Collins Consulting Group

About Us

Collins Consulting Group helps organisations achieve defensible outcomes, manage risk and move forward with confidence, particularly where decisions are scrutinised long after they are made.

We provide independent, senior HR support to organisations navigating complex and sensitive people decisions, where judgement, credibility and risk exposure matter.

We work alongside leadership teams on employee relations, mediation, organisational change, governance and executive decision support, bringing clarity to issues that rarely arrive neatly defined.

Our work sits at the intersection of people, commercial reality and regulatory expectation, ensuring decisions are proportionate, defensible and aligned to the organisation’s wider objectives.

Our approach is grounded in independence, judgement and proportionality. We focus on understanding the issue in front of us before advising on the most appropriate way forward, rather than applying a fixed framework or predetermined solution.

We are direct and pragmatic in our advice, balancing legal and regulatory requirements with commercial reality. Where decisions carry risk or long-term consequence, we help leaders test their thinking, understand options and move forward with confidence.

Our role is not to take decisions away from organisations, nor to create dependency. Instead, we provide the clarity, structure and challenge that enables leaders to make decisions they can explain, defend and stand behind.

This is not generic HR consultancy. It is experienced and independent judgement applied where it matters most.

Founder of CCG

Collins Consulting Group was founded by Faye Collins, a senior HR professional with extensive experience operating at board level and advising organisations where people decisions carry significant risk and long-term consequence.

Faye’s career has been shaped by working in complex and highly scrutinised environments, where governance, proportionality and defensibility are not theoretical concepts, but daily requirements. Her approach reflects a deep understanding of how people decisions intersect with commercial objectives, regulatory obligations and organisational reputation.

She is known for being calm, direct and pragmatic, particularly in situations where issues are sensitive, contested or emotionally charged. Rather than offering generic HR advice or prescriptive frameworks, Faye focuses on helping leaders think clearly, challenge assumptions and reach decisions they can explain, defend and stand behind.

Collins Consulting Group operates as a consultancy, but clients work directly with Faye on all engagements. This ensures independence, consistency and senior judgement throughout, without dilution or delegation.
