Testimonials & recommendations

Below you can see what some of my clients and business associates have said about my work. You can also find out more about my previous HR work and experience on my LinkedIn page here.

"I attended a Brunch Briefing run by Alison. She was very personable, engaging and informed about the topic (presentation skills). The format of the session was ideal and great value for money. Alison also provided an opportunity for networking with the other delegates. I really enjoyed the session and would recommend Alison to others."

"Despite being a multi-million pound organisation and a division of the "most diversified automotive supplier in the world", Alison was instrumental in developing an employee focused redundancy process which mitigated organisational risk. Appointed as an interim, Alison’s expertise prompted an overhaul of HR policies and direction, adding value though an operationally centred approach."

Judy Luckins

She was able to challenge both the business and ourselves to ensure that the right service was delivered efficiently and effectively and quality remained a focus at all times."

Melody Hermon

"I worked with Alison during her time at Honda and would have no hesitation in recommending her for any recruitment related assignment. She successful led the recruitment function for both production operatives and professionally qualified roles which I supported her on.

"Alison joined Magna (Hartlip) as a consultant during a very difficult time for our HR Department. She assisted us through a very difficult but successful redundancy process. Alison is very generous with her experience and knowledge."

Tanya Bezuidenhout
HR Officer at Magna Exteriors & Interiors

"Alison proved to be an invaluable asset when the Hartlip Division were required to carry out a sizable redundancy programme. She was responsible for the planning and smooth implementation of the process which was carried out in a professional and effective manner.

Alison was asked to remain in the business to manage the HR function; she has proven her ER knowledge and application as well as improving the overall absence within the Division."

Dallas Swinburne

"Alison is a very capable senior HR professional with a focused, practical approach but also with a keen eye on the strategic and commercial landscape. Alison was a great support to me in her time at Kerry Foods and I would strongly recommend her in her new venture."

Ian Garrett

"I recently worked with Alison on a short project which I found to be educational, thought provoking and most of all challenging! She clearly knows her stuff and has a great deal of experience. It is definitely worth working with Alison and I would recommend her to friends/colleagues."
