Have absolutely loved all the sessions we've had with David. Cannot recommend him more! Am hoping we can have some more together in the future as I have found each session useful for my career. The way David delivers each topic is easy to understand and tailored to our current needs/issues, he always makes them interactive so you feel immersed in the topic rather than just talked at. Always come away with lots to think about
Having worked with David for just under a year, he has supported our organisation through a transformational period. Despite an initial brief, he has gone over and above our expectations and revolutionised our HR arm.
I really valued and appreciated their help with the process, I was very nervous about bringing the first full time employee into the business and the clear and honest advice throughout has been invaluable to making the process and my obligations easy to understand. I feel like I understand my obligations much better now and am delighted to have this full set of documents in place. They were approachable, clear and brilliantly understanding. Fantastic service, and brilliant value!
They have been a huge support to me and my business. They developed our contracts and provided us with the relevant policies when we made our first hire. Since then they've always been on hand and ready to talk when I have ad-hoc queries providing clear and easy to understand advice. I highly recommend the HR Dept Clapham!
It has been an absolute pleasure working with David and his team and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking an HR consultant who is honest, well informed and good value.
David and his team have been an amazing support to us. They are always there at the end of the phone to answer any questions. Professional through and through! The HR assistance that they provide is an asset to any business with their 5 star service! Thank you to you all, you're a top team.
