Meet The Team

Julie Spicher - HR Generalist

We've spent some time with all areas of the business to highlight the fantastic people we're lucky to have here in the team at Leep Utilities.

Please meet Julie Spicher, our HR Generalist.

My name is:

Julie Spicher, Leep Utilities’ HR Generalist

I’m responsible for…

Managing everything HR related within the business. This includes being involved in the recruitment process, drafting policies, ongoing coaching and offering general support to the team.

My typical day…

I always like to start with my emails as this helps me prioritise the rest of my day. As the standalone HR at Leep, I have the opportunity to be involved in many different activities and areas of the business so each day can be really varied.

The best part of my job…

I’ve been with Leep a little over a year and the best bit has been seeing the business grow at such a rapid rate whilst still maintaining its sense of identity. It is fantastic to see the team put into practice the elements we have developed as a team.

I recently had a week off work and was genuinely so excited to come back to the office – I think that’s when you know that where you work is special.  

If I could share one piece of advice…

A piece of advice I was given early in my career which has always stuck with me is not to forget the human in human resources. It is challenging to balance the needs of a business with that of the individual, but its importance cannot be overstated.

Something I think would be applicable to everyone would be not to shy away from asking questions, you’ll find the majority of people are really happy to help.

When I’m not working I’m….

Studying for my CIPD Level 7 (HR Qualifications), playing handball, and I’m also planning my wedding; between these activities there really isn’t time for much else!
