"When we established Thomson Tyndall, even though we were a relatively small firm at that stage, we took the view that our company would only be as good as the staff we employed and retained, so we felt it important to start with a robust and well-thought-through approach to HR and employee benefits before we recruited our team.

David first took the time to understand our business, plans and budget and then advised us on what we needed, but equally importantly, what we did not need. We discussed and then Bedrock designed and implemented a full range of contracts, policies and procedures and an online employee portal that still act as a secure foundation for managing our team today. I was particularly impressed with David’s focus on making sure that our HR policies and benefits were clearly communicated to our team in a way that emphasised the value we place in them, turning a necessity into a positive benefit. Since then I have valued David’s wise counsel on both day to day HR matters and on the more general issues and pitfalls that can affect growing businesses like ours. I couldn't recommend Bedrock more highly!"

Thomson Tyndall
"I started working with Bedrock about six months ago and they’ve been a great support to help identify weak points in our staffing structure and also to implement fixes so the business can run smoothly both as we grow.

The Bedrock team is always available for a quick call or to come over and David has helped me to think through the structure of my team, the strengths and weaknesses and where the gaps are as we are rapidly growing.

We are already recruiting to the new structure and making the interviewing processes and role structures more robust. Having the advice and support from Bedrock has helped build a more happy, stable and robust team. I am really glad to have found them!

Thank you!"

"We have worked with and been supported by Bedrock HR for over two years. We are a small team and thus do not have an in-house HR department. David and his team provide this expertise for us. In all matters we have found Bedrock HR to be deeply knowledgeable, experienced and helpful. They conduct themselves in a manner that highly professional yet fully approachable."
Paul Mitchell
Managing Director,
Le Bureau
"I have been using Bedrock to manage HR activities for my accountancy practice for a number of years. As a professional firm we rely on the high quality operational support and strategic management advice to stay ahead of the game and Bedrock provides this."

Partner,
Fairman Harris
"We had a difficult situation with a long standing and popular member of our team who was not meeting client expectations. Bedrock helped us to understand our legal position, talked through options with us and David was present in a succession of meetings where we successfully concluded a risk free departure. This could have been a lot worse without the support we received."
Adam Kirby
Chief Executive,
MCA
"Managing a business is very challenging, especially a growing business. Managing the employees and structuring the HR management and resources is time consuming and requires expertise as well as thorough knowledge of employment law. This is especially important as the focus as a director is to move the business forward and Bedrock HR has had an impact in our business due to their commitment, expertise and professional support which has been invaluable. Thanks Bedrock HR!"
