Who we are
​
Springs People was founded by Beatriz Fuentes, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and People Director with more than two decades of experience leading HR, culture and organisational transformation across healthcare, technology, manufacturing, services and charitable sectors.
​
After years of guiding organisations through growth, restructuring, cultural change and international expansion, Beatriz established Springs People to provide organisations with access to strategic, pragmatic, values-driven HR support that delivers meaningful and sustainable impact.
Our Story
​
“Springs” is a nod to the Spanish word Fuentes, meaning “fountain” or “spring”, a symbol of renewal, flow, and life. It captures the essence of our approach: fresh energy, clarity, and continuous movement.
​
After years leading HR and People strategies in complex and growing organisations, Beatriz saw a need for a consultancy that goes beyond process, one that restores flow in organisations where culture, strategy, and people may have become disconnected.
​
Springs People was born from that vision: to help businesses bring their people strategy to life through clarity, compassion, and practical transformation.
Our Values
At Springs People, our values flow through everything we do:
​
Humanity
​
We believe every business success starts with people. Empathy and connection drive everything we do.
Clarity
​
We bring simplicity to complex challenges and help organisations find focus amid change.
Integrity
We work with honesty, transparency, and a values-led approach in every partnership.
Growth
We help people and organisations evolve, nurturing talent, leadership, and sustainable success.
Inclusion
We champion diversity and create spaces where everyone belongs.
Our Approach
We combine strategic insight with human connection, balancing evidence, empathy, and experience.
​
Our work follows three guiding principles:
​
-
Listen deeply – We take time to understand your culture, challenges, and aspirations.
-
Design thoughtfully – We build practical people strategies that align with your purpose and future.
-
Deliver sustainably – We help you embed meaningful change that lasts.
We do not believe in quick fixes. We believe in creating momentum, empowering leaders and teams to carry transformation forward long after our work is done but making sure that is done on a practical, effective and commercially mindful way.
