"Duncan provides exceptional value for money and is always reliable." - MD, engineering firm.
"I have used Duncan at Your HR Director for over 10 years and I highly recommend his services to any small business. Employing staff is quite complex nowadays, and Duncan can make sure that everyone is treated fairly and that all guidelines are followed. As a small company, I obviously could not afford my own, in house, HR department. Using Your HR Director gives me this facility but is both cost and time efficient, and allows me to get on with what I do best. Thanks again Duncan." - - Managing Director, Bristol Mortgage Brokers
"We needed to outsource some of our HR due to our continued growth, and the constant changes in employment law. Duncan came to see us and was really helpful. He totally revamped our contracts and handbook, and moving forward we now have the situation under control. I would not hesitate to recommend Duncan and his business to any potential clients." -- Managing Director, National Seafood & Fine Foods Wholesaler

He is professional, understands industry, is consultative and able to build solid relationships based on trust and understanding.” -- Director, Independent Recruitment Agency
