Business overview

I offer bespoke advice, diagnostics and training to employers of all sizes regarding management / HR training and all things regarding employees

I offer HR support, diagnostic work and advice, calling on my 30 years of experience working for Acas and my qualifications - CIPD level 7, CMI Diploma level 4, Highfield training level 3 for companies of all sizes around people matters .

In addition, we deliver management training for all levels of leadership in the workplace in and around the following subjects:

Discipline

Absence management

Leadership skills for supervisors and managers

Managing difficult conversations

Mental Health Awareness

Managing Staff with Mental Health Needs

Managing Performance

Coaching

Training, Learning and Development

My training has received fantastic feedback for being concise, interactive, pointed and making the training memorable. As a result I have employers coming back to me for further training or advice.

My handbook and contract reviews are a "deep dive" going into detail making them as robust as possible and this attention to detail again inspires the trust of my customers.

This business is a one person business, I sell my experience and my qualifications so that you will ALWAYS receive the best service. I aim to keep my prices as low as possible, not to, reflect the service but to allow for the highest accessibility of my top level experience and expertise.

You will have personal, bespoke and detailed service from me to guarantee consistency and the highest quality in delivery.

I have a unique positive 360 feedback policy and you can check out my reviews on line .

Excellent advice on difficult conversations

I received excellent advice on how to handle a difficult conversation at work. Not only were the tips I was given thoroughly effective (and easy to follow), one of the participants in the meeting complimented me afterwards.
