Who We Are

We are Sleek HR. A small team of HR experts working collaboratively and creatively to build practical, transformative people solutions.

Founded in 2021 to meet the increasing need for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) expertise and flexible HR advisory support, we work with creative agencies and small businesses in and around East London, Essex and Kent.

With our vast experience of everything from employment law guidance to DEI best practice, inclusive recruitment processes, management coaching, and policy audits, we’re well equipped to support you within the ever-changing HR landscape.

We’ll help you to navigate the employment, management and wellbeing of your people with ease – all with the flexibility of a “made for you” service that means you can get ahead without adding an HR team to your headcount.

Tutu Popoola

Founder & Lead Consultant

I’m a trusted adviser to businesses that care about their impact on their people and the planet. I provide expert advisory services on employment law, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and how to implement best practice for your organisation. I massively enjoy working in HR – it’s a constantly evolving field, with new employment laws and case law coming out all the time. It also creates opportunities to build trust and to influence business decisions for positive impact.

Adebayo Onafuwa

Recruitment Lead

As lead for the recruitment desk, I’m always looking for innovative ways to improve client recruitment processes, employer brands, and to make hiring more inclusive for candidates. I love helping companies to identify their next steps to drive an inclusive culture while creating a conducive atmosphere in which employees can thrive. When I’m not working, I enjoy watching F1, being part of a local dance group, and spending time with my family.

Lauren Webb

HR Consultant

I’m an accomplished people and HR professional with a diverse background spanning corporate communications, publishing, digital media and the third sector. Before I joined Sleek HR, my most recent role was leading the people and HR function at a prestigious corporate communications agency. I have extensive hands-on experience in the full employment lifecycle and coaching managers and I’m thrilled to be able to share this with clients. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my dog, and volunteering in my local community.

With more than 13 years’ professional HR experience, I’m able to help businesses to streamline their processes to achieve their goals – and I’m always looking for new approaches to improve the way HR works. I’m an associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and previously worked as an HR and payroll manager. I also provide general HR support and conduct policy reviews and audits.
