What our clients say
we let them speak for ourselves.
- Rachel Kennedy,Soho Estates, Director of FinanceSarah Jo worked with us for the first time in 2022. She clearly explained what the additions to update our staff handbook could be without making the process into something larger than needed. Her turnaround for the work was timely and the work was precise. I would definitely recommend her and utilise her skills again.Rachel Kennedy,Soho Estates, Director of Finance
- Michael Barnett,Director of Finance, The Bromley by Bow CentreSarah Jo first supported the Centre during a tricky transition phase and did an excellent job of managing all aspects of the HR Function, getting on well with everyone and bringing a really professional approach to everything that was asked of her. Having managed the recruitment and selection of a permanent HR Manager, Sarah Jo ensured a seamless handover and smooth integration. Sarah Jo was then asked to complete a full Equal Pay Audit which she did in a thorough and thoughtful manner, bringing relevant external expertise and an ability to help with strategic decision making. I have no hesitation in recommending her.Michael Barnett,Director of Finance, The Bromley by Bow Centre
- Dr. Siobhan Mellor & Jen Rutherford,Real Group“Sarah Jo has been an important part of the team since joining as a part-time consultant to our HR team. Her rigorous approach to legal detail and accuracy is delivered in the most supportive and considerate manner. Sometimes HR practice is black and white but more often it is grey, with room for interpretation and application. Whether developing policy or implementing policy into practice, Sarah Jo has facilitated discussions with the Directors to ensure that our decisions and our practice are legally compliant, but often with the nuanced implementation that we want for our staff. Sarah Jo has always ensured we remain person-centred, compliant and caring. Sarah Jo has understood and reflected our need for HR practice which oozes human kindness and individual consideration for managing our greatest resource – our fantastic team of staff. Thank you, Sarah Jo.” Siobhan, Director

- Andrew Smith,Director, BHPWe’ve worked together on different staff engagement projects and employee relations issues and we’ve realised how important is to get support from someone who knows our people. We’ve used HR call centres in the past to deal with a few HR issues but always felt the service didn’t take into consideration the wider organisational culture. Some things are black or white, but we’ve noticed many people matters are exactly in the grey area and someone who knows us personally is able to give advice personalised to our company. It takes time to build relationships, but it is all worth it. We get our own HR buddy and always stay in touch where we are not quite sure what to do when things because difficult.Andrew Smith,Director, BHP
