“I have known Debbie for over 15 years. I first met her when she worked at Mercia, who assisted my Firm with our Training needs. In particular, Debbie assisted us with HR training.

When she moved on from Mercia we sought her out as a resource we could use, as she was always friendly, responsive, helpful and knowledgeable with any HR queries. Debbie has assisted my firm for many years now as and when we need HR support, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her.”
— Philip Munk, Partner, TWP Accounting LLP

 
We have been using Debbie to advice us on our “people issues” for some five years and she has helped us transform from a company regularly bamboozled by the sheer variety of personnel issues a business has to deal with, to one that is confident and proud of its staff management, now working to the Investor In People’s standard and secure in the knowledge that good HR practice means all staff are bought in to the company’s brand values and high standards of work and client care.

Our relationship with Debbie began as ad hoc, but over time we changed this to an ongoing retainer - which has taken the work she does for us, and the contribution she is able to make, to a whole other level. I love the way Debbie likes to receive regular updates on the team and its people, even if there are no particular issues that need addressing, just so she can build up a good picture of our people dynamic and how everyone in the team interacts. She has such a nuanced understanding of our business now, and the people in it, she is able to advise us as if she were in our office, observing the business and the team every day. I can’t imagine an in-house HR person feeling any closer to the challenges we are facing and what we are trying to do as a business.

One of the very best things about Debbie is how she manages to make me feel I am her only client!

Debbie Taylor is nothing short of a true professional. She has understood the dynamics of our human resource needs since day one, and is continuously aiming to assist us in all aspects of HR management and regulation. Moreover, Debbie also assists us with looking at general business development issues, and how these correlate with our most important asset, our people. All the team have a positive working relationship with Debbie, and she is always fair and impartial with her advice. We would not hesitate in recommending her, just as long as she still has some time left for us!
