About us

We are a leading Workplace Mediation service operating across the UK.  

We offer outcome focused workplace mediation to reduce or eliminate workplace conflict, grievances and tribunal claims through the power of proper honest conversations.  Lengthy and ingrained workplace issues can normally be addressed and resolved in one day of proper workplace mediation.

Nickie Verheijen is our Managing Director and Founder of Platinum People Consulting.  Nickie is an accredited and registered Civil Mediation Council mediator. She is passionate about the power of proper conversations in the workplace to avoid costly and unnecessary grievances, loss of talent and damaged reputation. 

Nickie is also a HR consultant with 21 years HR experience, having operated at Director and Executive level and led a talented regional HR team that achieved a 'Best Companies' 'World Class' people engagement and featured in the Top 100 Best Companies to Work for in the UK for a number of years, also ranking as 3rd Best Law Firm to Work for in the UK.    

Nickie now works with a number of SMEs across the UK to support and develop their people function.

Nickie believes that traditional HR can lack relevance and impact and is passionate about the future world of work, inspiring and challenging the status quo and operating an adult-to-adult relationship in the workplace (moving away from the parent/child relationship model).
