What our clients say
Outstanding HR support. We have used Pennine HR for over two years now, the support and advice we have received has been amazing. The advice we receive is quick, practical and supports us in whatever situation we find ourselves having to deal with. Whenever we need support we know the team are there, no matter how silly the question may seem to us, nothing is too small! A great resource to have for any SME.
Vikki Harling
Finance Manager, James Robinson Speciality Ingredients Excellent service with a personal touch. Pennine HR have looked after our HR for over 2 years and nothing is too much trouble. They offer sensible advice relating to HR and other business matters and I like that they get to know your business and you get to know them. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to other businesses big or small.
Neil Edwards
Director, Extract-It Great team. We started working with Pennine HR as growth in the business called for us to improve our HR capabilities as well as being compliant with all regulations. With Pennine's guidance we have introduced a new staff handbook, improved our contract management, created a new starter process and have a new online HR system. Pennine HR are a personable group of people who I have always found happy to help. Would definitely recommend to any SME.

Red Ledge What we don't do
(because that's just as important as what we do)
-
Point 1:
We won’t tell you what you want to hear. We prefer to be honest so everyone knows where they stand.
-
Point 2:
We never say “you can’t do that”. We explain the risks and help you make a decision.
-
Point 3:
We don’t pretend HR is black and white. There is no HR rule book, just experience and open conversations.
-
Point 4:
We don’t have faceless call centres. We get stuck in and act as an extension of your team, but we make our own coffee.
