Testimonials
See all...I have attended a number of employment law training sessions given by Kate Russell over a period of five or six years. The reason I go back to her is that she makes the subject clear and gives really practical advice, which is important to me as an operations manager. Last but not least – whoever would have thought that employment law could be amusing?! But the way Kate delivers, it is and makes the whole workshop both enjoyable and memorable.
