Testimonials

Square Circle HR Limited supported me during a business acquisition involving 1,500 staff by taking full responsibility for the HR element. Two things in particular impressed me; the breadth of skill and experience and ability to assist in an acquisition of this size with some of the complexities and sensitivities involved, and their open and straightforward approach to understand the issues, discuss and provide solutions.

Whilst we have our own HR department within the company, from time to time we have larger HR projects that need proper planning and development. This creates capacity problems for a hard pressed internal HR team. By bringing in Alison and her colleagues it enabled us to introduce a complex pay and progression structure relatively smoothly. We were able to introduce some objectivity and staff were much happier with the outcome. Alison’s detail knowledge on employment law from an HR perspective has also been of value to us as she has been able to provide some good advice to us in this area of HR practice.

Christian Potter was involved in redefining Great Circle's appraisal system in late 2005. With a year of the system under our belts it is true to say that it has given us a much improved structure, with clearly defined outcomes for each and every employee. Training on the new system was given to everyone, both those appraising and those being appraised, encouraging adoption of the process.

When faced with the need to update contracts of employment in a rapidly growing business we turned to Roz Wood. Having gained a real understanding of the ethos of our business, Roz created statements and an employee handbook that not only allow us to meet our legal obligations but also bring consistency and clarity. Furthermore, Roz has given advice on individual employee performance and sickness issues that have allowed us to clearly understand our obligations to the employees concerned and protect the company from any unnecessary legal exposure. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services.

We were pleased with the service we have received from Christian Potter. She has provided us with helpful employment law advice and an Employee Handbook with detailed and up to date HR Policies which meet our business needs and bring us up to date with employment legislation. This was enhanced with an overview session for the management team which was received well. She provided a professional and friendly service and we will continue to work with her in the future.

Alison Welsh of Square Circle HR Limited has provided HR support for EdICT Training Ltd for two years. They are a highly experienced and professional organisation and have been of considerable benefit to EdICT's corporate development. In particular, they steered us through a difficult period of restructuring, developed an HR policy framework and managed our Investors in People process. I would recommend them for HR services in any Small to Medium Enterprise organization like ours.

Roz Wood has helped me so much over the last 6 months. I have much more confidence with the knowledge she has given me. I have contracts in place, I can look after my staff as well as looking after my business which are both so important to me.
Ruby Grimes, Owner, Ruby Flowers

I have known Christian Potter for some time now and have found her to be a very capable HR professional with all the knowledge and experience from someone in her position. In particular she brings a depth of analytical scrutiny to practical work based issues and develops the appropriate response to ensure progress can be made, taking into account both the up to date employment legal framework as well as professional HR practice. Her exposure to different organisations bring a breadth of knowledge and experience which has been very helpful.

Christian has undertaken a number of projects/assignments for me over the period and I have always found that she has delivered what she has promised, within timescale and budget, and to a high standard. Most recently she supported us with the development of some HR policy frameworks along with practical guidance and training plans for line managers. I would have no hesitation in engaging her service again in the future.
