“ I had the pleasure of working with Pat and becoming a close family friend as a result of my time as the Managing Director at Garlock (Great Britain) Limited.
Pat has been instrumental in bringing the acquisition of 3 companies in the UK together with her focus on the people throughout the organisation, increasing in number from 15 to over 90 staff within 12 months.
She has an eye for detail and rapport with staff where everyone she meets respects and befriends her. She has been loyal to a fault and the most trusted member of the management team. Her refusal to sit in an 'ivory tower' and create platitudes of policy statements is one of her key strengths as she approaches business from a pragmatic standpoint. Preferring to mingle and become of the workers enables her to report on the real 'pulse' of any organisation.
I would highly recommend Pat to anyone in business, large or small for friendly helpful advice whatever the situation. Her invaluable experience of HR law and voluntary court experience as a JP means almost any situation will not faze her.
I would be pleased to discuss her approach to business as a referee. ”

“ I don't often get the opportunity to say thank you!
As you know I was very concerned about the implications of TUPE and the transfer of the contract.
I knew that there were a number of implications and the risk of an unfair dismissal claim could mean serious financial losses for our business.
After the initial discussion with you I felt more confident and decided to ask you to work on the project for me.
Your professional approach to work and the easy manner of your communication meant that I was quickly in a position to understand all the implications of TUPE, the possible ramifications and the way forward.
In these days when people are quick to complain and criticize it is a pleasure to recommend the services of one of our suppliers.
Thanks again for your help and assistance. ”
