Without Gill's help, I would never have managed to sort out our new employment contracts, staff handbook, salary scheme and recruiting of new employees.  She is extremely personable and easy to work with and I have found her advice and recommendations to be objective and well thought out.  Thank you for all your help and for getting us on the right track!

Sometimes there are issues where an external viewpoint can help focus your thoughts and cut through the 'in house issues' that detract from the decision making process - that's where we find the benefit of Black Dog HR.  Any consultant can tell you the legal positon, but very few can act as a confidential, independent extension of your executive team.

I would like to say a big thanks to you for assisting me through this minefield ‘redundancy’ and making it as smooth a process as possible. Thanks again Gill.

I am a partner in a growing firm of accountants, and used Black Dog HR recently to help us develop employee handbooks for our staff, which form part of the employment contract. Gill Craik is very knowledgeable and guided me through the process and helped me to tailor standard terms to suit our circumstances. The handbooks have been well received by staff. Gill is a lovely person to work with and the service she provides represents excellent value for money. I have since recommended her to clients who have also been impressed!

I run a small business in Buckingham Town Centre and have recently used Gill and Black Dog HR for a contractual issue I was lumbering over. I met with Gill and went over what the issues were. Gill listen to me rattle on and was exceptional in the way she steered me through the situation. She later sent me a full contract of partnership which fully outlined and addressed the concerns both myself and the other party were having. I can not recommend Gill highly enough - very professional deeply knowledgeable and just as importantly a very very nice person.
