Joe thornewill

Founder of HR Director for a Day

Joe has been working in the HR world for over 10 years, working with brands like Premier Inn, Whitbread Restaurants, KFC, Subway, Costa, CH&Co, Domino's Pizza, Coffee# 1 and most recently Series C/D start-up Farmdrop where he held the triple role of People, Retail and Operations Director.

Joe has held both HR and commercial roles within different organisations, giving him the ability to speak both HR and Business.

He prides himself on a consistent down to earth approach, using humour + trust to help build relationships.

Joe decided to leave the corporate world and set up his portfolio business Thornewill Holdings Limited, a group of businesses which, along with HRD for a day, includes a Greek food business and a custom furniture brand. He splits his time between the three businesses, doing three things he loves, whilst still dreaming of a day off!
