Being on a retainer with you really provides us with reassurance that we can come to you as and when we need to. Your help has been invaluable, your expertise and understanding of the minefield of HR is second to none and I cannot thank you enough for your input into helping Paperclip create and build a strong and happy team. It is a pleasure and a comfort to have you in the team Paul and I look forward to working alongside you in the future.

Paperclip

I first worked with Paul when he delivered a Rest Bandit programme relating to the importance of rest and recuperation at a senior level. The programme gave me and the leadership team insight into something that we hadn’t put enough time and attention to in the past. Paul has subsequently supported a number of our businesses from an HR perspective both in specific projects and in a generalist capacity. Paul’s background, particularly in the utilities space, means his offering is pragmatic yet challenging. He works at both a strategic and detailed transactional level, dependant on what the project requires. I would have no hesitation in engaging Paul again if the need arose.

Paul has been invaluable to us during an extremely challenging period for our business. He is extremely professional, supportive, always accommodating and brings with him a wealth of HR knowledge and resources.

Our business is values-driven, we aspire to do the right thing on all levels and ensure that our people are part of this. As a growing business, we did not have any HR support, this is where Paul came in.Over the past 18 months Paul has developed our recruitment and people plan and ensured that our beliefs and practices were not only documented but also brought to life and demonstrated in our daily activity.It is easy to take the people within your business for granted and often with a growing business the people element is placed behind profit. Utilising Paul in this area has meant that we are not fouling foul of our own values and we are consistently improving our people practices.

I worked with Paul recently as we navigated the recruitment of a new HR Manager in the business. Paul fulfilled the dual role of helping us through the recruitment process and also supporting the existing team with leadership around day to day issues. Paul was a joy to work with and a great shoulder to lean on, helping us successfully through this period. A great professional to work with, trustworthy and respectful in interactions with me, the leadership team, and the wider business. Highly recommended.

Carnell

Paul worked with me as CEO of Sheffield Hallam Students’ Union and our Leadership team. Paul was our HR Specialist/Project Manager and he helped us deliver a complex restructure to align our organisation with a new strategy and start a programme of culture change. We relied on Paul to keep the project moving, and to advise the Leadership team on the appropriate course of action relating to staff consultation and delivering the significant cultural changes. We are in a much stronger place because of the work Paul did for the organisation.

Sheffield Hallam Students Union

The Carnell leadership team relied on Paul quite heavily when we were without an HR Manager. He joined us at time when we were mobilising new contracts and he’s helped us shape our HR strategy and operating model. He also helped us source and recruit a new HR Manager. Paul was trustworthy and responsive in the support he gave Carnell, we wouldn’t hesitate calling on his services again if needed.
