Testimonials

I would highly recommend the services of 1850. They were a delight to work with, professional yet approachable, they made the whole process of reviewing our HR policies and documentation straight forward. A task I had been putting off for sometime was not the headache I had envisaged once they reviewed our processes and provided advice on the best way forward. We look forward to continuing to work with Claire and the team on future projects.

STAUNTON ROOK - ACCOUNT DIRECTOR
Claire is amazing! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Always thinks outside the box and has helped me to relax a little whilst taking on my new role in HR. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing support from a professional.
Zoe Furzey
HARMONY - HR ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT
Claire has been providing out-sourced HR support for my business, supporting everything from contract and policy development (definitely not a handbook!) to consulting on working environment, team structure and culture. She combines her in-depth knowledge of the legal requirements for employers with a refreshing perspective on what it means to be a people-focused business, and how to put that vision into action. If you truly want to put people at the heart of what you do, I would thoroughly recommend working with Claire and her team.
Nich Leach
RED THREAD MARKET ACCESS - MANAGING DIRECTOR
We have been working with Claire since early 2020. Claire's support has been instrumental in providing clarity in our business over employee policies. We have found this has enormously improved confidence and morale through the COVID pandemic. Claire has a great approach to HR and it is refreshing to be working with a company that is passionate about their product. I couldn't recommend Claire enough. We are looking forward to working together into the future.
