  • HR Business Consultants were tasked to provide us with guidance as we do not have any HR resources within the charity.  Our priorities were to address some restructuring, recruitment and training.   These were completed smoothly. Having them there at the end of the phone or coming into the office, gives us peace of mind ensuring we are making decisions in line with employment legislation. Knowing our managers have support has taken a weight off senior managers.

  • I have found Jane to be incredibly quick and accurate in her provision of advice, wholly professional and reliable for our outsourced HR needs. We will continue using Jane and would highly recommend HR Business Consultants.

  • I have known Jane for several years now and the advice and help I have received has always been fantastic. Jane is professional yet personable and provides information in a clear and relatable way that makes some of the HR challenges much easier to overcome. I would recommend HR Business Consultants with confidence knowing Jane will always give 100% to every client.

  • HR Business Consultants offer a great bespoke HR service. I had a relatively small HR issue - however, nothing was too much trouble and they were able to help me to get to a sensible, practical solution. I would thoroughly recommend them if you have any HR issues whether just a one-off issue or on-going support to support your business.

    Sue Gardner
  • I have known and worked with HR Business Consultants for many years. Jane is a great HR Manager and the team are energetic, smart and tenacious with a good knowledge of relevant laws. They are an asset to any company, bringing a fresh perspective to issues and common sense knowledge to all HR tasks.
