“I’m really impressed with the ease of use and response time of the service. Significant savings have been made in terms of time it previously took to process, reduction in paper, managing and monitoring electronically, user friendly reports and cost of covering the vacant post whilst waiting for paper system. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service to other organisations.”

 “I’d like to say thanks for making the workshop so enjoyable and valuable. Although it was hard work, I found the process rewarding and I know the rest of the team did too. Being given the  time to talk through the long known issues in the service, right through to  positive actions, was a breath of fresh air and was so well supported by the way you managed the workshop. I personally learnt a lot too”
