Ali Franks helped us out with a recent HR issue. She provided us with practical advice and a great outcome.

The advice provided was great and so were the practical solutions to our HR needs, she was very professional, timely and made sure we were comfortable with what we needed to do, she has an incredible knowledge of HR practices accompanied by a calm and down to earth approach. Ali provided the right documentation and advice tailored to the circumstances of our small business, she was up to date with changing legislation, quick to respond and was ready to chat whenever we needed to talk something through.
