Hoople Group

Hoople is a private limited company with public sector shareholders, namely Herefordshire Council and Wye Valley NHS Trust. Our Vision is to provide excellent business support services to the public sector and those who work with them and we work closely with customers to get to know and understand their needs. We have developed our business to offer responsive, quality and value for money services, utilising a wide range of industry expertise, experience and skills to provide a range of services to our shareholders, practically all the schools and academies in Herefordshire, local GPs and other healthcare organisations, a wide range of voluntary and community interest organisations and many commercial businesses. Services include training and education, a full service recruitment agency, and a wide range of 'back office'​ services for schools and public sector clients - for example HR, Payroll, Financial Services and IT. We are driven by service quality rather than profit and aim to ensure that our prices are competitive and offer value for money to all of our customers.
