Lily Belle offers unique, personalised and handmade jewellery
“As one of the first companies to partner successfully with Not on the High Street.com, our jewellery business has flourished over the last few years and we have grown our team significantly. As part of this growth, we recognised the need to implement some HR practices into the business. This included contract and policy implementation together with some simple templates to cover all the areas from recruitment through to exit. Expert-HR managed the process efficiently and managed to capture the Lilybelle ethos in everything they created. They explained what was needed and cut through the legal jargon so we felt relaxed and reassured that both our business and employees were protected. We continue to use Expert-HR on a monthly basis to ensure we are legally compliant, so our employees have a dedicated person to approach, and so we as founders and Directors can continue to focus on the growth of the business knowing the HR people part is taken care of.”
Plan-A UK Limited
Plan-A is a young, dynamic company providing architecture and surveying services for commercial and residential clients across the South East.
“Plan A are an enthusiastic practice of Architects and Building Surveyors, working with a variety of different clients and building types. Over the past 3-years we are fortunate to have been appointed to many more projects of increasing complexity, leading us to invest in several new team members. As we did, we quickly recognised that as responsible employers we needed to establish robust contracts for each person, clear office policies and a framework for staff appraisals / improvements.
After meeting with a number of HR specialists from different backgrounds, we found that Expert-HR were the only team that understood the particular characteristics that make Plan A a distinct company, that people want to work with and work for. They quickly illustrated how the myriad of elements involved in operating a business could be broken down into manageable phases, in order of priority and necessity, addressing each one a step at a time.
Using the services of Expert HR has allowed us to create a clear structure and consistency to the company that all of our team can understand and appreciate, and we now have the confidence that we can grow further in a structured way that protects and supports us all.”
Company85
Company 85 is an independent services business focussed on delivering enterprise-class IT transformation, information protection and service management.
“In September 2013, Company85 made an acquisition of XOR Professional Services to bolster its provision of channel services from desktop through to datacentre. As part of this acquisition, we needed to TUPE over to the business all of the XOR employees. We appointed Expert-HR to manage the project and issued a deadline for completion. Expert-HR took complete control of the process working with the acquiree team and representatives to transfer all of the new employees over. This included Q&A documents, meeting with the team and representatives and the creation of all paperwork related to the acquisition. We would have no hesitation recommending Expert-HR for both project based activity or general HR professional advice.”

Going forward I will use Expert-HR as and when the need arises.”
Satigo
Satigo are a technology recruitment company with a passion for delivering a world class service.
“Growing a business quickly is hugely satisfying but what comes with that is the need for structure and consistency. We engaged the services of Expert-HR for two reasons, to provide us with a legal framework from a contractual perspective and also to talk to our employees on a quarterly basis to get an objective perspective on how we are doing as a business. This has proved invaluable because when you are focussed on growth and sales, it is easy to lose sight of your most important asset, your people. Expert-HR gives us a regular health check on the business and an action plan to move forward.”
