… and what we don’t do!

We do not operate as a telephone only advice line service

We do not tell companies what they cannot do, but support them in carrying out legitimate business aims

We do not offer good advice and then walk away; we aim to create lasting and sustainable working relationships with all our clients

We do not work from ‘off the shelf’ materials but treat every assignment as being unique.

Client feedback

These are some of our assignments, with extracts from the testimonials offered by our clients:

A FTSE 100 organisation required employee relations support to close its aerospace business in Cumbria. The project was particularly sensitive, given the relocation of a proportion of the work to Europe and the long service of many employees in an area with few employment prospects. The site was actively represented by Unite.

The Consultancy assisted with the planning of the project and undertook consultations with the Union’s National Officers. Following the closure announcement, the Consultancy worked with the local Management Team to structure the closure programme, compile and negotiate severance terms and manage individual employee needs. The Managing Director commented: “We found David Spencer to be practical in his approach, very knowledgeable on all aspects of employment law and industrial relations and very capable of building effective relationships throughout the organisation.” _______________________ A global engineering business, operating in the power and oil & gas sectors, was faced with serious commercial and funding issues in early 2012. David Spencer was one of three specialists appointed to drive a business turnaround and embed this, over a two year period. This resulted in a return to sustainable profitability, a 50% increase in sales revenue and a fivefold increase in share price. The Group Chief Executive commented: “The HR agenda has been critical in achieving and sustaining these changes and David has been instrumental in delivering and embedding these… Given the strength of (our) recovery and the platform that has now been established to secure its future prosperity, I can highly recommend David as an HR and employee relations practitioner and as a HR change management professional.”

A previously government-funded training company, with multiple locations, faced a need to re-align its UK resources and become commercially self-sufficient. The consultancy assisted with a restructuring and transition plan, working with the Management Team over a five months’ period to successfully re-engineer the organisation. The Head of Human Resources commented: “On the basis of David’s consultancy work … we have no hesitation in recommending his services to you, in particular his expertise in the management of employee relations. With his calm manner, he built wide-ranging relationships very quickly and offered practical, informed guidance and advice gained from many years’ experience in his professional field.”
