Who We Are

Founded in 2021, Stonehouse offers expertise within Corporate & Regulatory Services.

We provide high calibre contract, interim & permanent staff to Public, Private and Third Sector Organisations.

With a customer focused attitude, we work with staff at all levels, graduate to director, in a variety of organisations.

With close to a decades worth of experience in the industry, we understand the importance of putting people first.

Where People Matter

"After 7 years in the industry, I had the chance to pause and reflect. In an industry based on people, I surprisingly found that many talented individuals were being overlooked and undervalued. Whether working with a contactor or client, focus was being placed on the job and finding a quick placement, rather than on the person doing it. It was in these moments, where I realized I wanted to create a company where people and relationships are prioritised.

At Stonehouse we strive to treat people like people and not like numbers. We promise to uphold our company values and be a place where people are truly put first."
