Professional People Management continually keep us up to date with relevant employment legislation. Their wealth of experience within all areas of HR gives us the confidence to act on their advice.

Judith AddymanRESTAURANT DESIGN ASSOCIATES 
"PPM has been our outsourced HR provider since January 2012. During this time they have helped develop and implement an HR strategy aimed at driving forward our business plan. This included a company-wide restructuring programme and the development and implementation of a competence-based performance management system. They take a very pragmatic approach to HR and understand that a 'one size fits all' solution isn't suitable for every organisation - taking into consideration other important factors such as organisational culture, value and ethos, they then tailor their advice accordingly. We have already recommended their HR services to other companies, who are now benefitting from their business-focused approach."
