Simon Dymoke
UK Managing Director Saica Natur

I have found you very easy to work with as your manner is both friendly and professional. The contribution that you have made at meetings I have attended with you has been excellent-not only with the content (eg updates of progress on Natur matters), but on the facilitation side (eg time-keeping). The same can be said for the output I have seen from you. For example the explanation of the Competition Protocol was well aimed and clearly understandable.
Mike Hodgson
UK Controller

Your approach to your work has been notably thorough and professional and you have always been helpful and approachable whenever our paths have crossed. Thank you for that and I sincerely hope that our paths cross again some day.
Tim Bostwick
UK Operations Director

Over the past four months and with all the HR issues which we have had to resolve at Doncaster and Sheffield I have found you very approachable, professional and very knowledgeable on all aspects of HR. I can honestly say that you have been a great asset to the company over this time and your skills will be needed going forward as we integrate the business. Thank you all your help and you are a valuable member of the Senior Management team.
Tim Reay
Regional Director - Central

I have found your approach to the business helpful and down to earth. The advice you have offered has been fair and honest. No dressing things up which is good in my opinion as this leads to everyone knowing where they stand and normally gets results and outcomes dealt with quickly. I believe you have a strong character and are well organized in what you are trying to achieve. I also can see that your experience is helping others develop and learn from you which given the early status of the Natur business in the UK as an integrated company moving from what was in essence 6 independent businesses in the UK your skills with others is much needed. Your structured nature to each project also brings discipline and structures to those around you. I would certainly welcome your participation in the business going forward as we grow together across the UK. I?m sure more can be done with the teams and the development of the staff which we have never really tackled as a manage

J Beazley (Client - 2012) Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value ?Putting it simply, Di was great. She has transformed our HR policies and systems and has put in place a robust and sustainable system that works! Her ability to design a framework that is fit for our purpose was excellent. I would not hesitate recommending Di for any HR Consulting work.
James Beazley
Director - Six Recruitment

Di is a true HR Professional, with the proven ability and track record of implementing big culture changes in organisations, no matter how dysfunctional they happen to be! Di has that rare talent of being able to build genuine and strong working relationships with the workforce so that she truly understands people and how they think - by doing so, she gets what seem to be difficult things done with the minimum of fuss. Her strong sense of fairness in the way she conducts her business activities gets recognised by "right-minded" people and she quickly becomes respected and accepted by folks at all levels within an organisation. In addition to her obvious professional skills and experience, Di is a very positive-minded lady with a highly engaging personality who is good fun to be around. I have no hesitation in recommending Di in the highest possible terms.January 6, 2012
