For approximately four years
For approximately four years, we've relied on the HR Department, and they've consistently offered thoughtful and balanced guidance to aid our expanding network of schools and nurseries. At the helm, Helen has a deep appreciation for the impact of culture on an organization and has fostered an incredibly positive and proactive atmosphere within the Bristol team. Both Rebecca and Shenise stand out individually for their supportive nature and customer-centric approach, even when navigating their own challenges. I wholeheartedly endorse their services; our decision to stop was simply due to our growth necessitating an internal team.
Great team, excellent culture and focus.
We have used the HR Department for about 4 years now, and they have always provided well considered and measured advice to support our growing group of schools and nurseries. At the top of the shop, Helen really understands the role that culture plays in an organisation, and has created a very positive and proactive one within the Bristol-based team. Individually, Rebecca and Shenise are both very supportive and customer focused, even if dealing with challenges themselves. I can't recommend them enough; we have only stopped using them because we have grown to the point where we need our own in house team.
