I have worked with Gemma for a number of years and she has supported my business through tremendous change. Our service and growth is heavily dependent upon the team that we have so getting the right HR provision is imperative.

Gemma has assisted with issues as they happen but also helped us to put in place systems to ensure that HR does not become a burden on my business. The latest advance has been the implementation of BreatheHR which has further reduced the amount of time I must invest in HR administration. It means that Gemma and myself have access to up to date information without having to rely on emails and sending documents to each other.

John

Managing Director

We have been working with GFHR since our business began 10 years ago and as we have grown so too has our reliance on them.

The BreatheHR was introduced to our business in 2016 and we have really benefitted from the coordinated approach to our HR needs this provides us. It gives us a single point of reference and is now an essential management tool as our business grows.

Nick

Property Developer

Gemma has perfected the art of delivering a personal service balanced with the resilience of a small team which allows GFHR Consulting to deliver a bespoke and highly reactive offering. Given the new governments focus on employee rights you need someone as competent as Gemma in your corner.

Sarah

Director

We have been working very successfully with GFHR for many years now and they continue to offer an outstanding service. They are incredibly responsive and understand nuance meaning they produce good advice across all areas of our business, whilst also being excellent value for money.

Tony

CEO

I was recently faced with a challenging HR process, and the support I received from GFHR Consulting was exceptional.

Gemma and her team provided expert guidance every step of the way, transforming a complex situation into something much more manageable.

They were responsive, professional, and always available to answer my questions or address any concerns. Their extensive knowledge and understanding of HR policies instilled confidence in me throughout the journey, and it was clear they were committed to achieving a fair outcome for everyone involved.

I highly recommend GFHR Consulting to anyone in need of HR support and advice.

Jayne

Practice Manager

We found GFHR online whilst searching for a consultancy to manage our HR obligations.

Being such a complex subject, we needed to be assured of GFHR to fulfil this role, and following meeting Gemma, we felt comfortable to appoint them.

In the few months we have really got on top of our outdated contracts and procedures to the point where we have successfully gained ISO accreditation which incorporates HR management.

Our appointed consultant Felicity has been attentive, detailed and extremely supportive and we look forward to retaining the services of GFHR on an ongoing basis.

David

Managing Director

GFHR not only provided me with the advice and support that I knew I needed but also pointed out areas that I had missed.

Gemma’s counsel saved me a huge amount of time, money & stress. Working with her means I have an increased level of confidence on this area. She was flexible and delivered work to an incredible standard.

GFHR will be my go-to for any future HR needs.

Juliet

Managing Director

GFHR have consistently been by our side since we formed the company and have never failed to guide us through the complexities of Human Resources in all its guises.

This has allowed us to focus on our core business and given us as business owners, and our team, the confidence that everyone is being looked after fairly and correctly.

Jane

Director

Having used Gemma & Natasha for a number of years now, they have become a vital part of supporting us and our employees whenever we need them; it truly feels like they are an extension to our team here.

They are always to hand to give us advice and guide us on every aspect of HR and the management of our staff.

Gail

Business Manager

We have worked with GFHR for several years, relying on them for ad hoc advice, policy drafting, and staying up to date with changes in HR law.

Their responses are always prompt, their advice well-balanced and easy to understand, and they are an absolute pleasure to work with.

Florence

Venue and Marketing Director

As an SME with colleagues all over the UK having the services of Gemma and the team at GFHR to hand means that we know we are fully supporting our staff wherever they are.

Working with Gemma to ensure our staff handbook, HR policies and procedures are all up to date and fit for our business means that our team have a clear vision of who we are, what we do and how they directly contribute to our success.

Alice

Managing Director

I want to express my sincere gratitude to GFHR Consulting for their exceptional support throughout a grievance process within one of our teams.

Their prompt response to our queries and personalised attention truly stood out.

The process was completed from start to finish with innovative solutions and they offered help for us to improve employee engagement in the team facilitating a mediation meeting.

Ashley

Practice Manager
