Meet the Founder

Our customers benefit from Jenefer’s experience working for nearly 20 years in Human Resources, consulting with small and medium sized businesses.

She established Silk Helix Ltd in 2019 as a result of her growing frustration at how so many of the big players in the HR services industry were getting it wrong.

The key has to be to build deeper relationships with our clients, getting to know their businesses and offering a truly personal service. We believe that HR should not be treated merely as compliance function.
