What our clients say about us

  • “We have worked with P² HR for a number of years and their helpful and pragmatic approach to some tricky situations has been invaluable. What is refreshingly different about Lisa and Pam is that they are as far away from the fence as is needed to help a SME like Winford Ford. The value is having them sift through the flack to give us a clear solution with no fluff. In addition to the great advice to equip us to cope with the day-to-day trials and tribulations of dealing with people, they have provided fantastic line manager training to enable us to upskill our managers and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

    Justin Taylor – Winford Ford

  • “P²HR has provided Brinsea with HR support and advice for a number of years. Initially a full audit took place, but we were so impressed with the service we received that we signed up to a retainer.”

    Ian Pearce – Managing Director, Brinsea

  • “We have worked with the HR team at P²HR since 2016 and their sensible and pragmatic approach advising on tricky employee relations issues has proved invaluable to me; knowing they are there when I need them is brilliant and I’d be lost without them. Their help during difficult times is definitely worth every penny and gives me peace of mind I’m remaining legally compliant and doing things right.”

    Geoff Hazell, Director, Premieredge Solutions Ltd

  • “As we are a multi-national company and as it is the right thing to do, we wanted to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion was, and remained, at the top of our People plan. P²HR helped us to set that up, put in place structure and focus, support and develop the E&DT and we found their support very helpful and critical to us achieving this.”

    Laura Graham – HR Manager, Webgains

  • “We have always been very happy with the service from P²HR and the recent project confirmed that for us they are responsive, they listen, they bespoke the documentation and advice for us, our service user and our employees, and they support us to achieve our aims. We have no hesitation in recommending them for any HR work and for this purpose for your project on policies.”

    Mandy Hollis, Data Quality & Support Services Manager, BDP

  • “The friendly and reassuring team at P²HR have been providing HR support to the Solicitor’s Charity for many years. Having them on hand as a sounding board to bounce ideas off has been invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

    Nick Gallagher – CEO, The Solicitor’s Charity

  • “As the Chief Executive of the Association for Science and Discovery Centres I am delighted to recommend P²HR. We have been working with them since 2009 and they have been great support across the years, at the end of the phone or email just when we need them. We only need HR periodically, but when we need them – be that helping with employment contracts or for all-important advice - our colleagues at P²HR have always been responsive and excellent, and their newsletter during ongoing times of change in employment law is invaluable. We pay a monthly retainer which keeps the costs down and works well for our charity. I would thoroughly recommend them.”

    Shaaron Leverment – CEO, Association of Science and Discovery Centres

  • “I cannot recommend the services of P2hr highly enough. Over the last couple of years the team, and in particular, Pam, have supported the Taunton Heritage Trust through an organisational restructure and a couple of extremely challenging HR issues. The outcome has always been a positive one and the clear, concise advice received has been invaluable and very much appreciated.”

    Ros Moreton – Chief Officer, Taunton Heritage Trust
