“APL Media has been working with Liz at the HR Surgery for over five years. She has been invaluable in her practical and well thought out advice on a whole range of HR matters including hiring and firing, staff conflicts, capability processes, maternity and paternity leave, operations manuals, employment contracts and so much more. She is always at the end of the phone for a quick consultation and has become a very important part of our team.”

Matthew Jackson, Managing Director, APL Media

"I cannot recommend Liz at the HR surgery highly enough. With the recent acquisition of another Veterinary Practice I needed someone to guide me through a number of employment and staffing issues. Liz couldn't have been more helpful and understanding as my experience in HR matters was severely lacking. It was a huge relief that Liz led us through a number of problems we encountered without too much trouble and we are so grateful for her wealth of knowledge, and experience and above all her total professionalism. As a small business owner I am so grateful to Liz for helping us through the mine field that is HR. Without her input and patience we would have ended up with a number of problems I wouldn't have known how to resolve which would have cost me valuable time and money."

Steve Brooks, Business Owner, GVG Brooks – Equine Veterinary Practice

“The HR Surgery have helped us mange the most important part of our business: our people. We rely on Liz and her team to provide us with the structure and processes that are now essential in growing our business. Without them, I honestly think I would have had more sleepless nights worrying about things I did not understand. Liz makes it easy to understand; is proactive and very experienced. I no longer worry about HR. It's now a competency in our business."

Alan Perestrello, Commercial Director, Trillium Systems Limited

"During the past few years Liz has provided excellent guidance within the many facets of HR.

"Liz has advised Abbey Support Ltd for a number of years and has helped us deal with tricky, unexpected people situations.  Having practical and expert advice available when you need it takes the strain out of HR headaches. We have referred Liz to some of our clients and the feedback has been excellent so we have no hesitation in recommending her services."

Anthony Melbourne, Managing Director, Abbey Support Ltd

"As a Private Health Club with no head office, keeping on top of employment law and issuing contracts of employment, writing the employee handbook and handling all employment issues was a major headache for the Club.  Employment legislation changes constantly and making mistakes in this area is not only bad for morale but can also be very costly to a business.Working with Liz and the HR Surgery has been an absolute godsend. Buying the time in bundles allows total freedom in terms of cost management and allows us to plan flexibility into this area. Liz is a consummate professional and is always quick to respond to our needs.  I have no hesitation in recommending the HR Surgery. "

Christine Hamilton, Club Manager, Pavilion Health Club
