Testimonials
Here’s what our clients had to say about working with us.
“Andrew, with his expertise in education HR, was just so good. Knowledgeable, efficient and supportive. A good listener and adviser. The other Panel members agree that the process went so smoothly due to Andrew’s expertise and careful guidance. Andrew needed to refer some matters to your legal team as the issue was sensitive. That advice came back promptly and clearly. This gave all of us confidence in the decision Andrew guided us towards – which it what we thought but having Andrew’s reassurance was invaluable. Cannot commend Andrew Miles highly enough.”
“We have used Narrow Quay’s retained HR service for the last year, and it has been transformational for us. Our senior managers now feel supported when navigating some often complex HR issues, and know that there is a professional yet empathetic voice at the end of the email or phone. The advice provided has been nuanced to our organisation, pragmatic, in-depth and salient. Requests have been responded to in a very timely way and frequent communication over the phone is always much welcomed – it is much easier to talk HR issues through. We are delighted with our relationship with Narrow Quay and look forward to another year of working together.”
“Massive belated thank you to Simon Martin for delivering a tailored session for our managers at Phoenix on employment law and HR challenges. A really engaging session providing fundamentals and stories of where things can go wrong if you don’t keep employees at the heart of your organisation. Great to be back working together again – creating healthy work cultures”
“This is essential training for any organisation. The content was well delivered by staff with well-grounded knowledge and expertise, and the session was dynamic and interactive. It really got the staff team to think about their personal biases and our institutional practice. It has heightened our awareness and further opened the door for us to continue the discussions about our organisational culture.”
“Narrow Quay HR were recommended to me to help with a complex and sensitive consultation process. I was immediately impressed with their professional, friendly and proactive approach. They had a keen understanding of the education sector and as an independent school I found their expert assistance invaluable”
“Participants’ feedback was overwhelmingly positive with every session being rated either Good or Outstanding. This was one of the best professional development days that we have had from an external provider and I can recommend Sarah and Caitlin without hesitation.”
“It was a constructive and positive experience working with the Narrow Quay team. We were provided with expert contextual advice and the professional, fully-engaged service helped us resolve a number of complex HR issues, aiding whole School strategic development. Highly recommended.”
“Caitlin always considers our situation holistically, taking the bigger picture view, and delivers a creative, original and well considered opinion.”
“Sarah’s advice has been excellent throughout.”
“We have used Simon on occasions to meditate between colleagues. We were very pleased with the resolution and the parties have a much-improved working relationship. We would happily use Simon and Narrow Quay’s services again.”
“As a start-up, Narrow Quay’s retained HR services has helped us develop our HR processes alongside our growing business in a professional and cost effective way. In the last 18 months on top of the day-to-day questions they have also helped us with more complex HR matters, in implementing our first HR system and delivered training at our All-Hands off site. The service is always tailored to us and responses are timely.”
