MD Onward Enterprises

We were looking for a local HR firm to support our unique business. Having experienced large impersonal national firms, it was important to meet in person and build a relationship, rather than remotely through Teams. Alison visited our business and listened to our needs; she was extremely knowledgeable, professional , personable, guiding us through procedures ensuring we understood and every legality. We have subsequently worked with Alison who is now our go to HR advisor.

“It has made a huge difference, not only in helping the directors of The Zainab Project to feel more confident about their processes but also building our skills for the future.

The Zainab Project is now a registered Employer, providing our employees with the appropriate support and duty of care. The information provided was explained simply, making the requirements, and choices, easy to understand. The support is enabling us as an organisation to grow in a professional way, ensuring that we are following the legal requirements, as well as helping us establish good practice and policies for the future. We would very much like to keep in contact with Alison as we grow and as employment requirements may get more complicated.

The support was fantastic, and just what was required. The HR expertise provided was very clear and detailed It has been a very easy, but really valuable process.”
