"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."

"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!"
