"Top Quality Local HR Support"

We are a small company with 15 employees who had a complex HR issues requiring specialist advice and management. Zowie from Clear Bridge was excellent throughout and managed all aspects to a satisfactory concussion. Their rates are fair and a lot cheaper than a Solicitor. We would 100% use their services again.

"Reliable, professional, speedy advice with a smile"

The support we have received from Katy has been consistently comprehensive, professional and timely which is important to our fast growing consultancy. When we have needed reliable advice at speed, Katy has been there using her much welcomed personable, clearly experienced and pragmatic approach, giving advice we can trust and follow through with, every time.

"Excellent HR Support"

Clear Bridge HR has provided our company invaluable HR support over the past year.
Throughout the uncertainty of COVID, they have helped us navigate through choppy waters. Response times and communication are always prompt and clear.
We would highly recommend Clear Bridge HR for HR support.

"Organized, thorough and responsive"

Katy Cracknell of Clear Bridge has been invaluable in assisting us as we started to hire our first employees.

We considered various HR firms, and although Clear Bridge were not the cheapest option, the added value they have provided has made it clear that our decision to use Katy and her team was well worth it.

We would recommend Katy without hesitation.

"Outstanding service"

Outstanding service, rapid response and right first time. Couldn't have asked for better.

"Katy was incredibly helpful and…"

Katy was incredibly helpful and insightful. She was able to provide clarity to a complex situation and was sensitive and supportive at all times.

"Sometime work life throws difficult and…"

Sometime work life throws difficult and new challenges at managers. To work, talk these though with a professional independent third party is sometimes invaluable. My experience of Clear Bridge was just this. The professionally lead experience was very helpful in ending up with such a very positive outcome. Thank you Katy

"Absolutely wonderful, completely committed to YOU"

This review is an ode to a wonderful lady by the name of Katy.

Katy was everything I could ask for and much much more than I knew I would require, during a rather upsetting period during my life.
Due to the corona virus outbreak, like most people I was put onto the furlough scheme.
This wasn’t an issue initially as in my household we make enough to get by and my partner worked from home so everything, whilst not ideal, was more or less fine.

Skip forward several months and my position was in jeopardy, and I was to be made redundant “with immediate effect”.
Again I understand A LOT of people would have been in this position themselves so I hope that anyone who reads this will be able to pass on the help.

The help I received from Katy, resulted in me avoiding being mistreated as an employee that had no idea what they were entitled to, as I was almost ready to roll over and take redundancy without question.

Now my personal knowledge regarding the rights of employee/employer is very minimal as anyone would expect, and despite the fact that I have been in hospitality close to 10 years now I can not stress enough how little help or even information is available.
And even less has been available during this pandemic with citizens advice full to the brim and ACAS so busy you get cut off as soon as you dial the number.

And so I found Katy (or rather she found me) and she was an absolute star, not only did she take a personal interest in my troubles but she also had a wealth of information and help ready at hand to calm my every concern at EVERY turn.
Even though there were not many turns, to me it felt as if my life was falling apart to an extent.

For me a Human Resources department is something I never had access to and I have always had to rely on help from friends/family/co-workers for their personal experience.
But that doesn’t quite cut it when it comes to understanding things to the letter of the law and knowing what you’re entitled to.

I cannot say enough to encourage people to seek the help that they deserve when it comes to employment because the people who do these jobs, people like Katy, they really do just want what is best for you and they will fight tooth and nail by your side to get it.

If you’re reading this and you even have the slightest inkling that somebody you know might need some help, please please pass on the information and hopefully you can help Katy be the difference to someone just like me.

"Could not recommend highly enough..."

I have worked closely Katy for several years and I simply couldn't recommend her skills, knowledge or character enough.

Katy is someone who is a pleasure to work with. We have worked closely together on various HR issues, including implementing ISO accreditation's into our business which is no mean feat.

Katy makes everything as straightforward and painless as possible which in the world of HR is not always easy to do! Katy's expertise would be a great addition to any business.

"Sheila Webb"

Thank you Katie, What a star. She took full control of our messy situation and took all the worry away from us. On a personnel and business level her support and advice was calm, reassuring and JARGON FREE. Within no time our problem has been sorted. She has been invaluable, I would highly recommend her.
