Belinda Newton – HR Professional in Exeter

Testimonials Page

"HR regulations are a minefield for a business owner and unless you have an internal HR department, you’re at serious risk of getting something unintentionally wrong. However, with Belinda and The HR Dept Advice Line

service, I now have someone who is passionate about making sure my business doesn’t fall foul of employment law. I like the fact that Belinda sees things from a practical, employers perspective and in terms of cost and efficiency, outsourcing our HR function to Belinda is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Belinda has steered us through the maze of employment law. Having Belinda as our ‘HR Manager’ allows me to concentrate on other business matters and have the peace of mind that our HR processes are taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Belinda to other business owners. I’m delighted that we’re working with Belinda who is a vital part of my business."

“A problem given to The HR Dept Exeter is an opportunity for The HR Dept Exeter to demonstrate their understanding of my business in relation to HR issues, and how best to settle what could be a very complex employee relationship situation. Speaking with The HR Dept Exeter, meant that I did not have to spend time trying to find an answer for myself, and that once they gave suggested wordings, then all I had to do was issue the letters to my employee and the situation was no longer a risk to my business.”
Chris Dunston, Managing Director, Artavia PFS Ltd

“I worked previously with Belinda as a colleague and had no hesitation in using her to draw up our employment contracts and staff handbook when I set up my own company. She has a great personality and knows her subject. I would use her again.”
Julia Smith, Owner, Oceans Diner

“I have known Belinda at The HR Dept. for about 2 years through various networking events. At the beginning of this year we needed to update our Contract of Employments and produce a Company Handbook. Belinda at The HR Dept. stepped in and produced these for us to the highest standard; our contracts trebled in size and the company handbook is 60 pages long, which now covers every eventuality for our business. I would have no hesitation in using Belinda at The HR Dept. again, or recommending her to any of my existing or future clients.”
Danny Frayne, QuickPrint (South West) Ltd
