What do our Clients have to say?
'As CFO for Shrewsbury House School, when our previous HR Manager left, I explored the option of outsourcing our HR. The support from Sandra and the HR Dept team has been exceptional. They have 'held our hand' through many complex issues and decisions, from redundancies to dismissals and frequent absences. These have been far beyond my level of HR knowledge. The support has been reliable, professional, timely and cost-effective. I recommend you to other schools in our network as an exemplary resource.'Angus Harper, CFO at Shrewsbury House Trust
'We decided to outsource our HR to Sandra and the team about 9 months ago. It was the best decision we made this year. The HR support and guidance has been exactly what we needed. As a busy business owner, I couldn't have asked for more.'Steve Ray, Owner at Spider Climbing Group
'Two years ago, we also engaged Sandra to support us with our Performance Review / Appraisals process. I have always meant to put them in place, but it had never happened. Sandra launched a new process that felt more like us, arranges the reviews, facilitates the conversation and follows up on the action points. These have had a huge impact on the business. The feedback to the team is so much more meaningful, we have focused objectives and the personal development plans are more focused and creative. Thank you, Sandra. As you know, the team and I really appreciate your support.'Ben Setterfield, Bathroom & Kitchen 11
'Over the last six months, Sandra has been an incredible asset to both me and my team. Her unwavering support with staff training and one-on-one coaching for my operations manager and lead supervisors in my team, has truly been outstanding. From the very beginning, Sandra took the time to understand our unique needs and provided tailored guidance that has made a real difference. Her approach is always professional, yet so warm and approachable, making everyone feel at ease and motivated. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I've seen significant growth in my team’s skills and confidence, and it's all thanks to Sandra’s dedication and expertise. Her insights and encouragement have played a huge role in the positive changes we've experienced, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she's had. Sandra, thank you so much for everything you’ve done. Your hard work, patience, and genuine care have truly made a lasting difference, and I look forward to continuing this journey together!'Bradley Staines, Owner at Aquamark Cleaning Services
