Here's what our clients think of our services

I was at the end of my tether. I had consulted national HR firms retained by my wholesalers and business membership as I had an issue with an under-performing, unreliable employee, with a protected characteristic, and needed to dismiss him but instead of trying to help, these big firms were either trying to sell me expensive HR packages or inviting me to pay for costly personal consultations. I run a small 3-person business and am not able to afford the costs of such packages. Frustrated by this, I decided to try someone local and found HR Dept, Mr John Jenkison, to be specific. I was put completely at ease after our brief initial discussion. He spoke positively, was knowledgeable, and instilled a feeling of confidence, and I was so glad to have contacted his Company. After that he literally held my hand and masterfully guided me through my problem, resulting in successful dismissal. In short, the right conclusion to the matter.
Having worked with John for a number of years now, I can truly say that his knowledge and experience in the world of HR is vast. As a small business owner, HR can be very overwhelming with all the processes and procedures of HR, making sure you have the right documents and keeping up to date with the latest legislation. That’s why you need someone like John to help navigate your way through this, make sure you are doing the right things. For any business owner that is looking to outsource their HR, or need help with HR in any way then John is certainly the ONLY person you need to be speaking to.
We have been using the HR services of John Jenkison from the HR Dept for over 6 years now and he provides an invaluable service to our management team in a small pre-school with a dozen or so employees. Having become involved in the running of Coteswood House Pre-School and Day Nursery almost overnight, I knew I did not have enough time to become the experienced HR professional that was needed to navigate the potential minefield of employing people. For a small monthly fee, John quickly put in place robust staff contracts with an accompanying handbook and has provided ongoing support as and when required. There has not been a single issue that he has not been able to address efficiently and effectively and his wealth of experience has been evident from the start. Not only does he continue to provide excellent value, his services through the HR Dept are also insurance backed meaning that, provided we follow his advice at all times, should we ever end up in an employment tribunal then the insurance will cover the legal costs and any awards made which gives massive peace of mind for a small business such as ours. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John's services.
