What our clients think of us

These our some of the testimonials we have received from our clients.

Su Allen has been providing HR Consultancy support for us since 2003. She started working with us when we were a relatively small firm of drainage contractors and set up our HR administration and key HR processes; she now oversees the running of our HR function, usually visiting us once a week. During this time, the company has expanded and now employs in excess of 70 personnel.

Her no nonsense but unbiased approach to resolving problems and disputes is to be admired and is an inspiration to all of those working alongside her. Su is meticulous and very hard working. During my professional career, there are few I have met who equal her dedication and professionalism.

Frank Cleary, Clearaway Group

“Su is the most conscientious, professional articulate, hardworking individual I know. I have worked in the retail industry for over 18 years and during that time have worked with many Human Resources Managers, however Su Allen is by far the best”

Melanie Milner, Commercial Director

“It is always a pleasure and I must admit a relief to be able to work with positive, pragmatic managers such as Su when dealing with industrial relations issues. I have been very impressed with the professional and organisational skills that she has brought to the job and which have enabled sometimes very difficult business decisions/changes to be managed with minimum fuss and disruption but with maximum effect in success terms”

Robert Badlan, Regional Senior Organiser, GMB Union

“We needed some help in recruiting a new HR Manager. Su Allen ’s help was invaluable and we were able to restructure our HR department as well as successfully recruiting a highly effective and competent HR manager. I would highly recommend Su’s Consultancy Services.

James Parrish, Joint Managing Director, Parripak

“I have known Su Allen for over 4 years and have worked on many projects with her during this time. All of these projects have involved “changes” to working conditions and Su has been absolutely excellent in assisting in these changes. She expertly guides all parties involved in H.R. issues through the correct channels in order to achieve mutual satisfaction for everyone concerned. I can honestly say that Su Allen is one of the most professional people that I have ever worked with”.

Geoff Burrow, Managing Director, Briggs Armstrong

“Su is very aware of her employees needs. We have worked together closely on several cases which have resulted in employees retaining their employment despite having significant health problems/disabilities. These cases have been potentially difficult yet Su handled them in such a way that ensured all parties were treated fairly, remaining professional throughout”

Samantha Lucas, Disability Employment Adviser

“Su Allen is an excellent teacher, supportive and firm when necessary. Su’s drive and determination is something I will always admire”

Jeanette Cook, Freelance Designer

“Su provided a seminar on Employment Law for a group of business advisors - the team were impressed with her knowledge of the subject matter and she had clearly done a great deal of preparation. Her material was pitched appropriately to the type of audience - I would have every confidence in recommending Su Allen as a speaker or consultant on employment law”

Gill Whitehead, Marketing Director, Stratagem

“Just a quick note to say thank you for the talk yesterday. As a generalist, but involved and interested lay person, I thought it was an excellent (employment law) revision and up date”

Dave Lowry, Chartered Management Institute (Northants)

She is a very strong character, very organised, reliable, diplomatic and totally trustworthy”
