He supported me with all HR & People processes, including the tough ones like employment disputes, restructuring parts of the team (to restore our profitability), misconduct investigations and managing poor performers. They manage our accounts, cashflow & payroll every month. Their advice has been invaluable. Down to earth, hard working, and with heaps of experience."
