About Stratus
Where people and business thrive together
Your HR Partner, Not Just a Consultant
At Stratus Consultancy, we work as an extension of your business — offering tailored HR solutions that balance compliance with culture.
Founded by Haroun Islam, who brings over a decade of HR expertise across finance, education, commercial, and blue-chip sectors, we've helped businesses of all sizes simplify people management and focus on growth.
We understand that SMEs face unique challenges. You need expert HR support but can't justify the cost of a full-time hire. That's exactly why we exist — to give you access to senior HR expertise at a fraction of the cost.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every business has its own culture, challenges, and goals. We take the time to understand yours, then deliver practical HR support that actually works.
Haroun Islam
With over 10 years of HR experience across finance, education, commercial, and blue-chip sectors, Haroun founded Stratus Consultancy to bring enterprise-level HR expertise to growing businesses.
Having worked in-house and seen the challenges businesses face with people management, Haroun created Stratus to bridge the gap — providing the expertise of a senior HR professional without the overheads of a full-time hire.
His practical, no-nonsense approach focuses on solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. Whether it's navigating complex employment law, building company culture, or handling sensitive employee issues, Haroun brings calm expertise to every situation.
