Supporting businesses achieve success through their staff

Helen was an amazing support for us as we recently went through the process of recruiting our first employee. From interview advice to supplying our company handbook and contract, Helen was on hand at every step.

Both ourselves and our new employee feel confident and happy in our working agreement, which has all been handled very professionally.

I would not hesitate to recommend Helen, she has been fantastic for us at a time of big change in the business which could very easily have caused us a lot of stress.

Helen has been providing the Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust with ad hoc HR support for several years. She is brilliant to work with. She is highly knowledgeable and capable.

She provides practical and pragmatic advice and supports effectively with its implementation. I have really appreciated her guidance and insight, and I couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks Helen!

I would recommend Helen O’Byrne as she has proved her knowledge and expertise in the field of HR to be a vital resource, which I found to be invaluable when managing an establishment of over fifty staff in my last organisation.

Over a period of three years working with Helen I required advice and guidance dealing with complex and often difficult situations ranging from restructures to performance management of staff. Her knowledge, expertise, advice and guidance ensured I was in a position to confidently make difficult informed decisions.

Helen’s advice and guidance in supporting my direct reports (middle managers) performance manger their staff has proved time and time again to be a real asset.

I worked with Helen for a number of years in the Further Education sector. During that time I found her to be a highly competent H/R professional and also an approachable one.

She gave excellent advice, support and service to both management and employee, even if it was not what they wanted to hear because she was forthright and fair when doing so. I had no hesitation recommending Helen to two organisations that are planning to merge and wanted an independent H/R professional to help then with the appointments process for the new senior leadership team. Helen knows her stuff.
