Some of our Industry Experience
Dot Com
We have enjoyed supporting a rapidly growing dot com where we set up the HR function from scratch and headcount grew from 8 to around 200 employees within a year. It was a dynamic environment where multitasking was key.
Housing Association
Our experience covers project work within a Housing Association with the focus on a management succession plan for over 300 managers, a plan for centralising tools and processes to create a ‘manager’s hub’ and reviewing the referencing process.
Custodial Services
It was fascinating working within a custodial services organisation which involved an immigration detention centre as well as several prisons. We reviewed and created policies and procedures and oversaw mass recruitment campaigns including psychometric testing.
Parking Management
Specialist recruitment skills played a pivotal role in leading a large-scale campaign for operational managers, handling every aspect from psychometric testing to final induction. Strategic and innovative approaches were implemented to tackle the shortage of quality applicants.
Education
Our expertise includes managing complex HR responsibilities in unionised environments like local government, Multi-Academy Trusts and a London university. We have led on difficult, long-term casework, often involving sensitive issues and liaising closely with lawyers to ensure successful outcomes. We have designed and delivered targeted training for managers.
Charity
Significant recent work has been completed for a small charity with just over 20 employees. All policies have been reviewed (or created) and are up-to-date and include planned for employment law changes. There has been a strong focus on inclusion, creativity and clear communication. A gender pay gap report, appraisal, recruitment and reward strategies have also been carefully reconsidered with inclusion in mind.
Testimonials
Adrian Sebastian, Finance Director - Woodard Academy Trust
” I found Chantal to be both consummately professional and highly supportive. In particular, her approach to addressing issues was objective, balanced and demonstrated a deep understanding of anything within HR.
That being said, I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone considering to avail themselves of her services.
Steve Uhlig, Head of School, Queen Mary University of London
” Chantal supported me in a number of challenging HR cases while at QMUL. I learned a lot through our work together, expecially in terms of handling room dynamics. Chantal is very competent and compassionate, in a way that helped us move towards the right outcome in each case. Another of her qualities is gentle but firm assertiveness, a rare skill but extremely useful when handling difficult situations. “
Valerie Todd, HR Director, Harris Academy Trust
“A strong HR professional. Known her for 10 years or more. Skilled and knowledgeable in providing HR services to schools both LA and academy sponsors. Chantel would be an asset to any organisation”
