Mark Berry, Managing Director, Willow Starcom Ltd
"I would like to take this opportunity of recommending The People Connection to any organization that has employees. We have worked with The People Connection since 2006 and they now work with us as our HR and Health and Safety specialists. They ensure that our documentation now complies with the law and provide proactive regular advice when things are changing. I can say with confidence that having The People Connection on board has saved us money as we understand that failing to follow proper procedures when employing staff can become a very costly exercise. We are a small business that prides itself on delivering excellent service at the right price. We feel that The People Connection's ethos is the same as ours and look forward to continued work with them"
Norman Shawcross, Director, Norman Shawcross Roofing Ltd
“As an organisation we have worked with The People Connection and in particular David Boland for a number of years. We have grown as an organisation and recognised there was a need to ensure all employment policies and practices were right up to date. David has worked closely with Embrace to develop bespoke documents (contracts of employment and a staff handbook) and provides personalised advice whenever we need it.
Like all organisations we have faced the challenge of employing staff and have been no different in having to deal with some problems we would rather not have faced. David’s hands-on approach has meant that these situations were dealt with efficiently and effectively enabling us to get on and run the growing organisation.
I am delighted to take this opportunity to recommend David and The People Connection for any organisation that employs staff”
Suzanne Grimshaw, Business Manager, Embrace Wigan and Leigh
We have worked with David since 2006 and he has taken full responsibility for all our health and safety matters. This has been a significant worry off my mind and has allowed me to get on with running my business. This is why we have used and continue to use David who effectively is our own Health and Safety Department (without the big cost). David has always been there for us to ensure we comply with health and safety to start off with and to ensure we continue to comply through his regular on-site visits. David has also helped us achieve CHAS approval, this has been a major boost to our business and our ability to win new contracts – who says health and safety work is just a cost! If you run a business and would prefer to get on and run in I would strongly recommend you speak with David and The People Connection

As a successful growing business we recognise the importance of taking time out to work “on the business”. This isn’t always easy as priorities change on a day to day basis. In 2009 we recognised the need to work smarter as a business and engaged David and The People Connection to help facilitate this. His approach was simple and to the point and got us to think about where we had been, where we are now and where do we want to be? We recognised our strengths but also those barriers we needed to address should we achieve our personal and business goals. Knowing that David was coming to work with us made us take the time out to focus on the business and, very importantly agree action points. David helped us to put straightforward systems and ways of working in place which impacted at Director Level and line management level. His approach was tailored to our needs and it provided an impetus for change which we have all appreciated.
In 2009 / 2010 we grew the business by 21% which we are delighted with.
