'InHealth have been working with Ruth since 2016. Ruth has led a number of projects, in particularly two TUPE acquisitions where she managed both the acquisition and transfer process as well as guiding the HR Business Partners through some of the trickier integration issues. She has also been instrumental in handling a sensitive grievance and a number of other employee relations matters. Ruth is a trusted and reliable support and partner to our own in-house HR team.' Leanne Gardiner, People Director, InHealth Ltd.
'Ruth has excellent knowledge of HR legislation and her friendly straightforward approach has allowed us to trust in her judgement and has given us great confidence. We have been working regularly with her since the beginning of 2017. She is able to provide practical solutions to complex HR problems, giving advice on how to proceed and is a valuable asset to our company. It was fantastic how quickly Ruth was able to grasp our situation and issues, she instantly felt like part of the team and her clear and confident advice has been invaluable.'
HR Manager, Seiko UK Ltd.
'I have engaged Ruth since 2013 to help support our company's HR commitment. Ruth's advice has been a godsend at times in what can be a very challenging area of any business and she has held our hand tightly through some challenging issues. Although an external consultant, Ruth has been accepted as an integral part of our team by every employee within the business because she makes it her business to get to know the whole team and not just the board of Directors. This means that we can have our cake and eat it by having someone to call upon in times of need who is known by the whole team and accepted as part of our team.' Jason Pearce, Managing Director, Bonfire CI
'During her time at Next, Ruth built a thorough working knowledge of employee relations, performance management and employment law as the first point of contact for all our southern stores. Her reputation for delivering commercially focused HR advice was complemented by her energy and enthusiasm for the role. Ruth was also great fun to work with.' Alison Shipway, Next Retail Ltd.
'Ruth has extensive HR Management experience coupled with advanced employee relations and legislation knowledge. She manged multiple change projects in the time I worked with her. A key part of her role was relationship building and stakeholder management. Ruth was also fun to work with and worked hard to build a strong and dynamic HR team.' Kerry-Anne Jenkins, HR Manager, Homebase
'Ruth helps the Society for Occupational Medicine on an ongoing basis - providing HR advice, drafting contracts and most recently, facilitating a very effective team building away day. Ruth has excellent skills in HR, is friendly, professional and I would recommend her without hesitation.' Nick Pahl, CEO Society of Occupational Medicine
'We engaged Ruth to co-deliver a week of back-to-back assessment centres for a national regulatory body. Having worked with Ruth in the past, I knew she would provide a top-notch professional service and that we would benefit from her insight and ability to assess competence objectively. She didn’t disappoint. Ruth has a reputation for knowing her subject and always delivers high quality HR services. She is rigorous in her approach yet maintains commercial awareness. Most of all she builds trust quickly and adds value to a broad range of HR scenarios. I look forward to working with her again soon!' Steve Wycherley, Director, Continuum Enterprises Ltd.
'In a highly changing, multi cultural European environment Ruth was tasked with managing various specialist HR projects throughout Europe. In sometimes ‘politically’ difficult situations following acquisitions, Ruth’s language skills were especially helpful in building relationships with all levels of staff and providing quality local solutions. Ruth played a pivotal role in achieving the strategic objectives of the organisation and applied her specialist knowledge in the areas of acquisition, high performance management, people coaching and compensation as well as in resolving individual and company wide employee relations issues. Finally Ruth was able to build working relationships quickly gaining instant respect and this combined with an ability to work on her own initiative, in new cultural environments, made Ruth a trusted ‘trouble shooter’ who you could be sure of achieving results.'
Frank Knight, HR Director, Travelport
'Ruth initially came in to ensure our contracts were compliant but then went on to help us introduce a staff handbook with all the relevant policies and procedures. She understood our needs perfectly and was especially helpful when it came to meeting with staff and facilitating their understanding of the new terms, putting their minds at rest. I thoroughly recommend.' Julia Harris, Director, The Ultimate Promotion Company Ltd.
'We are a boutique events agency that cannot afford our own in-house HR. As a small business we appreciate Ruth being a local specialist with City expertise. She completely understands our needs and it's always nice to be able to talk things through with Ruth over the phone and then get the back up by email. Ruth's services are affordable and she is always prompt with her advice. She's a pleasure to work with - I would definitely recommend!' Melanie Gibson-Walsh, Director, Oliver Myles Events
'Ruth was recommended to me by a Trustee of the Hospice and came in to handle a piece of very sensitive work. The project involved detailed interviews, objective analysis and practical recommendations. Ruth was very perceptive and I found her to be efficient and professional as well as a delight to work with. Thank you Ruth for the way you handled this matter, I’d be very happy to recommend you.' Chief Executive, Keech Hospice Care
