Jo, Director

Organic Vegetables

"I can highly recommend Emily at The HR Patch; Emily has helped me on several occasions with HR related questions, revisions & guidance. Most recently Emily has reviewed and re-written my employment contracts for all my staff. For a business that is growing very rapidly it is important that they were correct, easy to read for my staff and completed in a timely manner. Emily delivered just that, her communication was brilliant, and the standard of work was high. Emily was very efficient and pro-active in finding out more about my company in order to write the contract to my business needs. I have no hesitations in recommending Emily at The HR Patch moving forward and will be using Emily in the future when needed. Thank you again Emily for delivering a brilliant service to a high standard."

Using HR patch has been a really positive experience and I thank Emily for that."

 

Mark, Office Manager

Organic Vegetables

"​Our company cast the net wide when searching for an outsourced HR Manager for our small but rapidly growing tech consultancy. From the moment Emily arrived at our offices it was apparent we had found the perfect fit for us. In such a short time she has ironed out all our compliance issues and equipped us to deal with our future growth. Naturally she has the knowledge and skills you should expect, backed up with experience of working with a range of people and issues. In addition though she has brought a real personality and understanding. Emily is flexible to all our company needs and got to know all the names and characters involved with the business immediately thereby finding the best ways to serve our needs. Though busy, she makes herself available at all times, is reassuring, wise, and throws a smile in for free. So, we paid for a patch and got a tailored suit! Emily is a very Human 'resource' and she is now part of our family in the company. If you are looking for a HR specialist I would suggest speaking with Emily first. Professional, warm, intelligent, reliable. I have a feeling she will be the perfect fit for your team also."

Christian, Head of Global Distribution

Artichoke

"As a medium sized multinational, HR Patch suited perfectly our requirement to outsource a delicate, but necessary restructuring of a newly acquired UK asset. Throughout the process, the advice given was clear and succinct, with alternative approaches given suitable weighting and risk. HR Patch handled the entire process and delivered exactly what was promised. Professional, discreet and knowledgeable, they had my complete confidence and I would use them again without hesitation."

Simon, Managing Director

Tropical Fruits

"We needed to basic but accurate and available support during a company re-structure and Emily has been the perfect fit. We like the fact that she was completely flexible with her involvement and completely transparent with her fees - we would be happy to recommend the HR Patch to anyone who needs this type of specialist HR support."

Paul, CEO

Farmer Holding Fruit

"​The HR patch is our go to HR support and has helped us with our handbook, processes and policies ensuring we are up to date with all UK/EU HR legislation. But most of all the company, led by Emily is on hand for all our managers and staff to help with practical day to day HR support. In short her advice is incredible. Practical and ALWAYS right helping protect the company and ensuring we are doing things the right way. I have worked with Emily now for 6 years in a number of different companies and she has always delivered for us. I could not recommend Emily and the HR Patch highly enough."

Martin, Operations Director

Cherry Tomatoes

"​Emily helped me out when I had some concerns about how an employer was treating my sickness levels after a recurrence of a chronic condition. She was able to put my mind at ease regarding my rights and to help me understand what information I was required to provide and what I was not. She helped take the sometimes quite intense stress and upset away by explaining how everything worked and helped me to come up with the right questions to ask of my HR manager. I felt empowered rather than isolated which made all the difference and reduced the conflict between myself and HR. I would thoroughly recommend her services."

Wendy, Owner/Director

Organic Vegetables

"​A very productive initial meeting with Emily from HR Patch, providing straightforward advice for us as a small business. Looking forward to working together to meet the ever changing requirements of employment law!"

Anonymous, Employee

Organic Vegetables

"​Emily kindly supported me through a particularly stressful situation with my employer. I was put at risk of redundancy at the end of my maternity leave and she gave me the courage to challenge this and get the decision over turned. Her knowledge about women’s rights around maternity leave and discrimination is impeccable. Her support and rigour was just what I needed when I was at a very vulnerable point in my life. If you are a working mum who is experiencing discrimination at work I highly recommend reaching out to Emily!"

Michael, Non-Executive Director

Grilled Vegetables

"Emily helped me manage two redundancy programmes in early 2017. Her advice and support was absolutely first-rate. She has an excellent grasp of employment law as well as the nitty-gritty calculations of employee entitlements. Very professional; I would highly recommend her."

Erica, CEO

"​We were in the exciting position of hiring our first permanent staff this year. Emily did a really good job of advising us, as a start up on the policies and procedures we needed in place. She also gave us detailed and fair contracts for our new employees. Very trustworthy."

Lucy, Director

"I had a wonderful meeting with Emily of the HR Patch. She really took the time to understand the contractual issues I was experiencing, and offered constructive feedback on how I could improve my customer relationships as well as the contracts themselves. Thank you Emily for your advice and support – it means the world to me!"

Teresa, Director

"​I have worked with Emily for many years, and can fully recommend her and the HR advice and services that she offers. Emily is well balanced and ensures we are following legislation but also being fair to the team, working with Emily is the equivalent of having an HR department for a small business."
