GWYN HOWELLS

CHIEF EXECUTIVE, HYBU CIG CYMRU/ MEAT PROMOTION WALES

Calland Wright Consulting provided effective professional HR advice and support during an organisational change programme at the University. I have no hesitation in recommending their services, in particular, their technical knowledge of employment law and HR matters and efficient way in which they approach the exercise.

DAVID NEILL

COO, NIAB IN CAMBRIDGE

Alison and her colleagues at Calland Wright Consulting have supported Esgyn’s Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team through a number of organisational challenges including disciplinary investigations, an organisational review and operational re-structuring excersie. In all cases, we have found them to be extremely professional. Their experience, willingness to listen and innovative approach have proved invaluable to Esgyn through a period of considerable change and re-alignment.

AMANDA MOSS

CHAIR, ESGYN

Alison was commissioned by National Youth Arts Wales to advise on a range of HR issues during a reorganisation process. She provided a clear strategy and action plan and dealt with challenging issues in a robust but sensitive way. She was always ready to adapt her advice to the particular nuances of our sector and took time to understand our world in order to provide the most appropriate advice and support. It was a pleasure working with Alison and I would recommend her unreservedly.

PETER BELLINGHAM

CONSULTANT TRANSITION DIRECTOR, NATIONAL YOUTH ARTS WALES

I worked with Alison in my role as Head of HR. She balances the art of listening, questioning, challenging and supporting brilliantly, making her a professional and insightful coach. She brings with her years of experience within HR, meaning that you know you are getting ‘tried and tested’ advice and guidance. I felt well supported during our time working together and whilst I was on my own to get the work done, I knew I had someone I could always turn to, who would ask all the right killer questions to help me arrive at the answer I needed. I would look forward to our sessions together and she is still often my first port of call when I need a listening ear or someone to advise me.
