    Jane Fryatt is one of the most competent and at the same time nicest HR professionals I have ever worked with.

    Hariet Hinz / Regional Director

    Jane combines a strong technical people management background with excellent change management skills alongside stakeholder and relationship management capabilities. In addition, Jane is one of those key people who deliver and actually get stuff done. I worked with Jane across a range of areas and she applies her intellect in a very effective way to understand the root cause of the issues and then is able to generate effective solutions to deliver sustainable change.

    I recently used Jane at face2faceHR when recruiting my first member of staff. Having met in the afternoon to discuss my requirements, her comprehensive proposal was in my inbox that evening. The proposal was detailed and concise and helped me to clarify exactly what I needed. Jane’s proposal not only provided me with a Contract of Employment for my new employee which was easy to understand and written in the style and tone that I wanted, but it also contained a Managers Guide to taking on your first employee; policies on discipline and grievances; and an employee privacy notice to meet my GDPR requirements. Jane made, what I felt was going to be a tedious and laborious task, very quick and easy – and enjoyable! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending face2faceHR. Jane’s ethos is very much about HR advice and services tailored to each clients’ requirements, rather than “one size fits all” – and that is exactly what she provided to me. Thank you Jane.

    All the reasons that made you such a good fit for CABI, that you are so pragmatic, make you great in your current role where you advise clients who don’t have an HR team.

    Neil MacIntosh / HR Director, CABI

    Jane quickly gained a grip of all matters, is sympathetic to our needs and most importantly gets results.
