“During a particularly busy period, we worked with Mat from The HR Office to provide additional HR support.
Mat was professional, measured, and extremely thorough, with a realistic and grounded approach to both outcomes and expectation-setting. He integrated seamlessly, handled sensitive matters with care, and was a trusted extension of the function at a time it was genuinely needed.”

“We used The HR Office on a pay as you go basis for our new business, they provided templates but worked closely with us to bespoke these to our business practices. We also used them on a few other occasions where their extensive expertise was invaluable, and all this expertise is delivered in a friendly, easy to understandable way, which makes it very easy to continue to pick up the phone. As a small new team, it was great to be able to use such an experienced team in order to ensure we are confident in our HR forms, policies and processes. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.“
Karen Bennett, Managing Director - 9Y Capital Ltd

Beyond ER support, Mat played a key role in the successful implementation of our new HR system, iAccess and benefits platform, Caboodle, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption. His knowledge, dedication, and approachable nature make him an invaluable asset to any organisation looking to enhance their HR functions. I highly recommend his services.”
Elizabeth Goldsmith, HR Manager - HSJ Information Ltd
“Mat has been an incredible support during our expansion into the UK. He provided clear, practical advice on everything from local legislation to the jobs market, salaries, and remuneration.

Mat's knowledge and expertise gave us the confidence to navigate a completely new market with ease.”
