Evida Launches to Support UK Businesses Through Rapid Employment Law Reform

In a year defined by sweeping employment law reforms and rising pressure on organisations to stay compliant, Evida, a new HR consultancy with a distinctly evidence‑led and commercially grounded approach, has officially launched, bringing together more than 40 years of combined expertise from two respected HR leaders.

Founded by Chloe Wallace, of One Source HR and Scenari, and Sue Bancroft, founder of LimeHub HR, Evida is designed to meet the surge in demand from employers who need HR support that keeps pace with legislative change and provides clear evidence of risk, value and impact.

Built on a methodology that blends commercial insight, a systematic diagnostic process and smart technology, Evida helps organisations understand precisely where risk sits, how it could affect performance, and what targeted action will deliver the greatest impact.

A core example is Evida’s Employment Rights Act readiness work. Underpinned by a bespoke, technology‑driven diagnostic tool, it provides evidence of organisational risk, quantifies the potential impact, demonstrates the value of investment in compliance, and leads directly into practical, actionable advice. This structured approach gives leaders clarity and confidence at a time when legislative change is accelerating.

Chloe and Sue are supported by a trusted network of experienced associates and employees, enabling Evida to flex specialist expertise around each client while maintaining the agility and responsiveness of a boutique consultancy. The team provides Employment Rights Act readiness, HR audits, compliance roadmaps, and ongoing generalist HR partnership,  from day‑to‑day people management to strategic workforce planning.

Both founders will continue running their specialist individual consultancies, with Evida created specifically to meet the growing need for broad, commercially minded HR support across the country.

Chloe Wallace, Co‑Founder of Evida, said: “This partnership couldn’t come at a more important moment for employers. With so much legislative change landing at once, organisations are under pressure to adapt quickly and confidently. Evida gives businesses access to the breadth of HR expertise they need, not just advice, but evidence‑driven, hands‑on support that strengthens their teams and protects their people.”

Sue Bancroft, Co‑Founder of Evida, added: “Chloe and I have worked alongside each other for years, and combining our experience in this way just makes sense. Evida fills a gap we've both seen growing: organisations that need practical HR leadership from people who've led, delivered and been accountable for the outcomes. Our network is made up of seasoned practitioners who can step in as a genuine extension of your team, backed by a methodology that brings clarity, structure and commercial focus.”
