Our Story

Why We Started PurpleTree

We founded PurpleTree because we were frustrated with the outdated and generic HR advice and unresponsive support that was holding SMEs back.
We'd seen it firsthand as business owners and in our corporate HR consulting roles - Businesses getting hit with WRC complaints and traditional HR services providers failing to address the changes in modern-day workplaces.

We knew there had to be a better way!

So, we created HR consultancy practice we'd want to work with ourselves - one that puts relationships over everything else.

We are a team of forward-thinking people that get to know you and your team so that we can provide tailored support and solutions.

For clients that want the benefits of using HR software for compliance, efficiency and organisation, we have the cutting-edge tech for you all under one roof.

When we say that we‘re all about relationships, that means we don’t churn out generic advice, use British made templates, or clock up billable hours for the sake of it, which is some of the feedback we have heard from clients that our competitors do. We're about understanding your unique situation, anticipating your challenges, and providing straightforward HR support & tech that just makes sense!

The PurpleTree Promise

With Purpletree, you're not just getting an account manager who delivers generic advice, no, you're getting a dedicated HR consultant who will provide tailored support and prepare your business for any HR hurdles to come.

We don't just send you a PDF and call it a day!

We roll up our sleeves and get to work, drafting contracts, conducting investigations, delivering risk assessments, and helping you implement our HR:Duo software to allow your team do more profitable activities.

When you need us, we're only a phone call away. No waiting for days for advice or chasing down support staff. With PurpleTree, you get real-world expertise, tailored solutions, and support that's always available.

That's the PurpleTree difference!

  • You have great people, but limited in-house HR or Health & Safety expertise
  • You want HR that's straightforward, in plain English, with no jargon and no waffle
  • You're done with one-size-fits-all HR that slows you down rather than moves you forward
  • You're ready to turn compliant, well-managed HR into a genuine competitive advantage

We work with Irish SMEs across construction, logistics, engineering, education, retail, care, finance, and beyond — bringing tailored, hands-on HR support to every sector.
