MHR (company)

MHR (formerly MidlandHR) is a provider of software and outsourcing services for HR, workforce management, payroll and finance. The company operates from its headquarters in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, UK, and at one time reported that it supported the management, development and payment of just over 10% of the UK workforce.

History
Established by President and Founder John Mills in 1984, the company was set up as Midland Software Limited - before changing its trading name to MidlandHR, and then to MHR- to supply human resource and payroll software to clients on ICL VME and IBM 370 mainframes.

In 1992 the company moved to new headquarters, Ruddington Hall in Ruddington near Nottingham, and later acquired a second set of offices in the same area. The MHR Campus became the primary headquarters in 2024. As of July 2022, MHR employed more than 849 staff.

MHR then started and continued to develop software in-house. The latest software product iTrent was released in 2007, and is a platform to deliver end-to-end HR and payroll processing.

In 2011, MHR acquired PBS UK; a company that offers HR and payroll services for small to medium-sized businesses. In August 2021, MHR was ranked as one of the top 10 payroll services providers by Payroll Index.
