Progressa is a people and performance consultancy helping small and medium-sized businesses build safer workplaces, stronger teams, and more capable leaders.

Founded by Nick Hurt (CertIOSH, MCIPD), a former CEO with over 30 years’ experience across manufacturing, engineering and international operations, Progressa provides the kind of practical, no-nonsense support SMEs rarely get access to.

We specialise in four core disciplines:

HR Consultancy

Straightforward, commercially minded HR support that drives performance — not paperwork. We help business owners stay compliant, manage people effectively, and build engaged, high-performing teams.

Health & Safety Consultancy

Making safety a strength, not a struggle.
From risk assessments and audits to cultural improvement and ongoing competent-person support, we help businesses protect their people and operate with confidence.

Recruitment Support

Hiring done properly.
Evidence-based recruitment that focuses on fit, capability and long-term performance, not just filling vacancies.

Leadership & Business Coaching

Structured, real-world coaching that helps leaders grow in clarity, confidence and capability, backed by 360° assessment and measurable improvement plans.

Progressa exists for one reason:
To give SMEs big-company expertise in a way that’s personal, flexible and effective.

No jargon. No box-ticking. Just practical support that improves how your business performs.
