What our customers think

Peter provided me with sensible, practical advice and reassurance in relation to a redundancy issue. He was clear and open about his fees, so I felt able to consult with him as and when necessary, without worrying about racking up a huge bill. This gave me the confidence to deal with the matter effectively and professionally. I would wholeheartedly recommend Peter’s service to others.

We have used Peter’s services for several years now, having previously been very sceptical of using external HR support. We were quickly proven wrong in our scepticism and found that the value Peter brings our company is considerable. He offers advice on employment matters, guides us through staff disciplinaries, helps us with onboarding new members of staff and has also helped us to update our contracts and staff handbook. He and Lindsey respond quickly and patiently and support our managers with clear advice every step of the way. Undoubtedly Peter saves us time and also provides us with peace of mind that we are taking the right course of action on employment issues. We would highly recommend his services.

It is quite rare to find a service that promises to deliver what you require and how you require it; it is rarer still to find one that exceeds these expectations, as well as giving good value for money. Peter is local and available at almost any time to help us when pressing issues arise so that they can be dealt with effectively. He is a very skilled and knowledgeable HR professional who provides a bespoke service, which works very well for our business, combined with great advice.

We engaged Peter to help us with an Employment Tribunal claim and his service more than exceeded our expectations. He showed exemplary professionalism throughout, making sure that he gave us his complete focus, and treating us as his most important client in all his interactions with us. I was impressed particularly with his speed of response, his cost-effectiveness and that he helped us reach a superb outcome.

When we needed to put our HR on a firm, more formal footing, we asked Pete to help us. He ensured that we had consistent staff contracts in place, that we had our first-ever formal staff handbook, and that we had a friendly, efficient and reliable port of call for all of our staff issues. He has helped both in recruitment and staff exit procedures and helped us keep the business clean and the staff happy. We were, and continue to be, so impressed that we have Pete on a retainer and he’s always happy to help in a timely manner whenever we call on him for his guidance. I would recommend him highly.

Creative62 has employed the services of Peter and his team for over 10 years. The peace of mind that comes from having up-to-date, compliant and friendly advice at the end of an email or phone call is invaluable to our business. Whether it’s been helping create meaningful policy documents, employment statements and job descriptions or supporting us through more challenging employment situations, Pete and Lindsey have offered sound advice to assist the company. I would happily recommend the services of Peter Etherington Employment Law Services and very much look forward to continuing to work together for many more years.

We have been working with Peter for more than ten years, during which time our business has grown from 3 to over 50 employees. Peter’s help and advice in supporting this growth have been invaluable. We initially retained Peter as a specialist in employment legislation to ensure we set our business on a firm foundation from an employment legislation perspective and in this respect we couldn’t have been better served. In addition, Peter has extensive knowledge and experience of a wide range of HR and other management issues which have been of equal value to us. The service Peter offers is fast and responsive and his availability to discuss major or minor issues at short notice at any of our locations is greatly appreciated. Peter’s presence in our business not only represents excellent value for money. It is also the one that gives me the greatest peace of mind given the complexities of the subject matter and the potential pitfalls if you don’t get it right at all times! The highest recommendation I could pay Peter is that I have referred him with confidence to numerous friends and colleagues who have similar and larger businesses. His is one service I could not imagine being without.

Peter and his team are friendly and efficient and provide us with valuable support and advice. We have worked with Peter for several years and have always received timely responses, appropriate challenge and quality advice. Peter is a knowledgeable HR professional and a trusted partner.

Peter has provided us with great support as our business has grown from a small back-bedroom operation to a large office/warehouse environment. He responds quickly to all inquiries and has a really insightful knowledge of employment law and best practices. We’ve also benefited from Peter helping us write job descriptions and discuss organisational structure. We couldn’t recommend Peter enough. If you need HR and employment law advice, then don’t hesitate- contact him!

We have used Peter now for a number of years. As we have grown his services have become invaluable to us and offer a very cost effective alternative to having an in house HR person. His knowledge of the current laws is vast and when we need him to look at something for us his responses are always immediate. Peter has helped us with a couple of sensitive HR issues that have been resolved very easily with his input. I would recommend anyone thinking of using Peter’s services to sign up straight away, it will be a very wise investment.
