As well as running a successful home improvements business, Scott is also a weekend football coach for a local youth team… their chance meeting has now led to Niamh’s company becoming a proud sponsor of Shrewsbury Juniors Football Club!

Niamh, who owns The HR Dept Shropshire and its’ sister companies The HR Dept Wrexham & Chester and Mid Wales, said: “Sport is so important for young people: it helps develop skills such as resilience, perseverance, confidence and teamwork, all crucial qualities for the world of work.”

"The team and I are always keen to support local organisations through our ‘HR in the community’ initiatives, which include being Enterprise Careers Advisors for local Schools and as a Trustee at the Shropshire Youth Association.”

Niamh initially established The HR Dept Shropshire in 2018 and together with a team of  HR specialists, extended her award winning range of operations to Wrexham and Chester and Mid Wales five years ago.  

Scott started True Build Shrewsbury shortly after the pandemic in 2020, specialising in home extensions and renovations in the Shropshire area.
