Haus of Coaching: Empowering Executives in their Career

I am Rachel Collar, a dedicated Executive Coach based in Towcester, Northamptonshire, offering my services globally across all organisational levels. My mission is to empower both businesses and individuals to unlock their full potential.

My Journey

My journey led me to establish my own venture, Haus of HR, during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. This venture was born out of my husband surviving a heart attack and my desire find a way to provide accessible HR and people solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Before embarking on this entrepreneurial adventure, I cultivated a successful career spanning over two decades in HR across commercial, public, and not-for-profit sectors. During this time, I had the privilege of leading global HR teams, serving as a vital member of senior leadership teams and boards for renowned global brands.

In addition to running my own business, I proudly serve as an active Non-Executive Director for both the Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce. Previously, I lent my expertise as a Trustee for Towcester Foodbank, and I currently hold a position as a Trustee Board Member for Trilogy Active.
