What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
We have partnered with the team at Freerange for a number of years, initially as a full outsourced HR provider. Now they facilitate our leadership development programme and our People and Culture team taps into their expertise as-needed. It’s the ability to have the diversity and breadth of skills to hand that is so beneficial – the Freerange team comes highly recommended by us.
Mark Schiele
CEO, Oyster Property Group.
★★★★★
We use Freerange for our HR services when we decided at the time not to fill our practice manager role for various reasons. This arrangement has worked better than expected. The Freerange team are easy to work with and are an excellent addition to our team with a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend to any organisation.

John Mason
Director, Spectrum Laboratories.
★★★★★
We engaged Freerange to guide us through a restructure and to transform our entire HR function at Computer Lounge. Beyond the reorganisation, Kerryn, Kim, and Sarah worked closely with us to overhaul our policies, streamline recruitment and onboarding, to help ensure ongoing compliance with employment law. Their combination of strategic insight, rapid responsiveness, and genuine care for our people has elevated our team culture and operational efficiency. Freerange isn’t just an advisor, they’re true partners in our success.
