Testimonials

  • “As a small, independent care home, we partnered with Precision HR four months ago and haven’t looked back.  They have advised us on a range of issues, from ensuring our policies and procedures are compliant, to navigating us through the challenging issues that can arise in disciplinary hearings and employment disputes and helping us to effectively manage absence levels. They always provide clear advice in a friendly and accessible manner, which makes managing any HR matter much more straightforward. I would unreservedly recommend their services to any business!”

    - Independent Care Home Owner, Carlisle

  • “I am the owner of a small health care business employing around 50 staff.  I engaged with Rebecca Bird at Precision HR to provide independent HR advice on a complicated employment matter. Rebecca gave practical and common-sense HR advice and supported us to resolve the matter swiftly and efficiently.  We were so impressed that we have now engaged Precision HR’s services on an ongoing basis.  I would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending them.”

    - Chairman and Chief Executive, Private Hospital

  • “Rebecca is very experienced in all areas of HR.  Her advice has been invaluable over the past few months and definitely been a worthwhile additional resource for our company.  Rebecca is very responsive which is important when you are waiting for answers.  She also takes the time to understand our business and our requirements.  She is very easy to talk to and explains each process as she goes along and engages with people to make them feel at ease.”

    - Michelle Ingham, Grants Oak Smoked Ltd

  • “Rebecca from Precision HR supported us with employment contracts for a short-term project.

    I found Rebecca to be attentive and responsive, providing us with an in-valuable service.

    We will be using Precision HR again.”

    - Claire Benson, SDG Changemakers)

  • “Precision HR makes dealing with any HR issue much easier.  The advice provided is very accessible to the “non-expert” and gives guidance on how to manage situations effectively.  Whether over the phone, via email or in person, we have always received professional and friendly support.  Unlike many other HR service providers who provide generic advice, Precision HR really listen and understand each situation to provide truly bespoke detailed guidance every step of the way.  We would unreservedly recommend Precision HR to any business!”

    - Care Home Owner, Carlisle

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

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

  • “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

  • “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
