"Specialising in small businesses, Kay listened carefully to our HR needs and was able to create a cost effective package that fit those needs exactly. She has been very prompt in her responses and has extensive knowledge not only of HR legislation but also of the everyday business of employing, and working with people. Furthermore, she has offered us at each step just a little more than we requested. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kay to any small business looking for HR support."

"Kay always makes me feel that my tiny business is the biggest and most important thing on her list, which I think is a real gift. She has a huge ability to listen carefully and emphatically even when there are difficult issues at stake, yet still cuts through to the salient points. Kay has always listened carefully not just to what is being said, but also to the underlying ethos and needs of the business. She offers solutions that are tailor-made and appropriate to the business and its values. I always recommend her unreservedly to other business owners as a result."

"Kay helped me review our employee benefits provision for our small team. She was able to look across what we currently offer and provide a timely and thorough analysis of where we stood in the market in these areas, along with suggestions about areas I hadn't even begun to think about, and some practical suggestions around suppliers and ways forward. I really enjoyed working with Kay and would happily recommend her to other business owners."

Crafty Counsel, London

“

"Kay was the perfect HR solution for our charity run organisation. We needed to undertake a full review of our employment contracts, job descriptions and procedures and, with no in house HR expertise, it was a daunting task. Kay was very helpful in ensuring we comply with current employment legislation but was also invaluable in advising how to manage our part-time, term-time only employees. We are a much more confident organisation thanks to her help."

Kay clearly and carefully explained all that would need to be done, and the time-scales for completing these tasks, and introduced many important points that we were not aware of. Kay was able to answer all the questions we had about this process. Once we were able to proceed, Kay was able to draft the required documentation, which was tailored to our circumstances, and then provide amendments as needed. Kay is clearly a very experienced and professional HR expert, and we would love to work with Kay again in future."
