I have also worked with Alison to create a learning and improvement culture within departments, as well as drawing on her experience of competency based selection and people development planning. Alison is my source of HR and employment wisdom and I am very happy with more than eight years of working together.”

“Alison has in-depth and up to date knowledge of employment law and legislation. She is always available for a chat over the phone, any time of day. I have no hesitation recommending Alison’s services to clients, colleagues or associates.”
Owen Jenkins, Owner, Owen Jenkins Business Consultants
“enlightenHR provide support to me and my other board members on a range of people issues. We treat Alison as our non-exec HR Director; the value of her expertise, guidance and input has been worth far more to us than the relatively small cost involved and has supported the people side of our business growth, complementing our expertise as providers of security solutions and allowed me to keep a helicopter view of the business strategy as a whole.”
Andrew Natt, Managing Director, Securitas Mobile
“Having a quality HR resource available when we really need it has been invaluable to Chartwell. Alison has supported us through two acquisitions, ensuring that the process has gone smoothly and that the integration has been successful and rapid. Additionally, Alison has been instrumental in helping us to identify our organisational values and embed them in the business through our training, recruitment and appraisal system. In the time that Alison has been working with us, we have grown our business from 30 to 100 people and Alison has helped us to develop one of our team to become HR Manager. Alison’s role is now coaching and supporting our HR Manager and the senior team to successfully fulfill the business strategy, dealing with the more complex technical HR issues and development and execution of the HR strategy. I have found the cost of employing enlightenHR to be extremely good value and everyone in the organisation has benefited directly or indirectly from having a senior HR professional involved in the business. I have recommended Alison and enlightenHR to a number of our corporate clients, as I can see what a difference it can make to a business. Well done and thank you.”
Jim Grant, CEO, Chartwell Group Ltd
