Testimonials
See all...Kate and her team have been the perfect addition to our business. We desperately needed someone to handle sensitive HR matters. She is always responsive, punctual, to the point and gives us the no nonsense advice that we need. Kate handled the dismissal of a difficult member of staff in a way that was seamless and as easy as possible for all concerned. Her professionalism, tact and approach is exactly what we needed and having Kate on board, allows me to stop worrying about making the wrong decisions that could have large implications for the business and gives me peace of mind that all issues we face are handled properly. I would recommend Kate to anyone looking to add a HR arm to their business, without having the expense of employing someone full time.
