“I recently needed some good advice/guidance and was given Susan’s details.   I contacted her and very quickly received a reply.  During a short telephone conversation, I was given extremely professional and helpful advice.   The information I needed was given in a clear, precise and understandable way.  I was able to proceed feeling confident and reassured that I would be travelling down the correct and proper pathway.  I would highly recommend this lady, who has also followed up to ensure I understood the information given.  Thank you so much for giving me the clear, concise information that I needed.”

 

“From day one, Susan makes you feel very comfortable, she’s extremely professional and knowledgeable when it comes to people issues and absolutely nothing is too much trouble.”

 

“We are a small architectural practice with a large global practice and found ourselves in need of HR consultancy to assist us with getting the basics right and someone who could help us when things come up, which of course they do.  Susan has been exactly that person, very professional, knowledgeable and patient.  I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who needs HR support. There is no need to hire an in-house HR person now that we have Susan on-hand.”

 

“Sue joined the team as our retained HR expert in 2022 and was immediately integrated into the Team and we feel it’s like having a (very efficient) in house HR department of our own, which we could never contemplate (or afford) otherwise.  We highly recommend Sue and SWan HR!”
