"Working with Precision HR was a very good experience, professional yet friendly. As a small branch of a charity managed by volunteers, we had no expertise in HR matters. Unfortunately, we had to make an employee redundant, and we wanted to make sure we acted correctly and fairly in doing this. Precision HR Consultancy made sure that we did this. Their quick response and the friendly approach in the meetings, made us and the member of staff involved feel at ease."

Manager, Small Local Charity

"Something that seemed complicated for me was broken down and explained in an easy to understand way. When I then agreed to go ahead working with Precision HR the work was produced very quickly and to a good quality."

Joe Bennett, The Build Agency

"It was really worthwhile utilising Precision HR for an internal grievance. The independent approach gave us reassurance that a thorough process would be followed without losing valuable staff time. Rebecca was timely but thorough and her approach made everyone feel at ease."

Ben Leavesley, Head of People, Lake District National Park Authority
