Testimonials

You have provided us with some great support through some very trying times, so thank you very much - it's been a pleasure working with you.

As practice manager of a 6 office firm, I am often the first point of contact for HR related issues. Not having an HR background has often left me feeling cautious and vulnerable when dealing with difficult or sensitive issues.

We have used JCS for a number of years and continue to receive a personal, excellent and thorough service for a wide range of issues. There have been times when I've needed advice out of hours and JCS have always accommodated my needs. Julie's approach is always clear, to the point, independent and professional and I personally value the support she has given me.

Julie is the HR specialist you need when dealing with a difficult situation or crisis. She is knowledgable, swift, competent and unflappable, with an ability to make her clients laugh - just when they thought it couldn't get any worse. I have used her expertise in several organisations, in quite different circumstances. She proved her value in all of them: I would have no hesitation in employing her again or recommending her wholeheartedly."

"Julie has a natural flair - while understanding the role of HR best practice and strategic interventions - for cutting through the waffle to provide pragmatic client focused solutions. She is engaging, personable and understands the importance of closely supporting managers in handling difficult interventions with their people."

I engaged the services of Julie to deal with a disciplinary matter within a small business. Julie added expertise and objectivity to the proceedings, which can be difficult for managers in any business but particularly within small businesses. Her follow up was thorough and detailed which is essential in any employment matter. I certainly will not hesitate to use her again if the need arises

I worked for Julie during our time at Zeneca, I found her to be a fair manager keen to develop and mentor her staff.

More recently Julie has provided support and guidance to me in my role as HR Manager at Lambert. I have no hesitation in recommending Julie as a very knowledgeble HR professional.

Julie’s input into our project has been invaluable, and we are incredibly proud of what we have produced. The feedback we have received already from the local authorities is very encouraging.

Julie was very professional and knowledgeable in her dealings with us and we were extremely pleased with the work she undertook on our behalf.

JCS has assisted us in dealing with a number of difficult employee issues. These have included an investigation into an allegation of harassment, an incident of gross misconduct and advising us on the process for dealing with a number of redundancies. In giving advice they were open and honest, and not afraid to disagree with us. The support provided has always been timely, flexible and of a high standard and we will be happy to work with them again.

I have referred a number of HR related projects to JCS, and on each occasion both my client and I have been delighted with the results. It is a fundamental of our business that anybody to whom we refer work must absolutely match our ethos in terms of ability, integrity and the provision of value - after all, we are trusting them with our valued clients. JCS have more than measured up, providing a first class service which we greatly value. We will certainly be referring more work to JCS, and can recommend them without hesitation.

Julie is engaged as the Haden Freeman Group's HR Consultant. Her knowledge of the field is outstanding and I personally find her to be reliable, friendly and trustworthy. She has become a highly valued member of our management team.

I have used JCS to help with a difficult employee issue for one of my clients and they more than met expectations, dealing with matters in a prompt and efficient way and going out of her way to attend a meeting in London at short notice. Their calm and no nonsense approach was invaluable.

We would like to thank you for guiding us through the (recruitment) process and making it so enjoyable. It all ran so smoothly and you made it look so easy.
