Enitial

Engaging with the Breathing Space team and with Chrissie Yates as my main contact, I am impressed with the level of professionalism and output that we receive. Most importantly, they clearly have sound industry experience; with the much needed, (and so often rare), ability to appropriately balance business need against the softer people skill requirements. Their knowledge and guidance inspires the confidence required to deliver the changes required.

David Farley | General Manager

Vintage Cash Cow

It was only after working with Breathing Space HR for the first month that we realised how much we had been missing! This knowledge gap within our Business has been filled by Breathing Space seamlessly. Everything seems to run so smoothly now: from on-boarding, issuing contracts, offer letters and the many other services they provide as part of the package. For more complex situations we know we can rely on them to provide sound advice. And when running a business with 50+ staff that is very reassuring.

JenaValve Production Limited

We have worked with Chrissie Yates and Breathing Space HR since 2015 and have a great and collaborative relationship.  Chrissie and her team provide a refreshingly straightforward approach and provides clear advice for both managers and employees.  The team has deftly guided us through the growing pains of developing and growing our operations and capabilities.  Chrissie’s attention to detail and employment law knowledge prevents issues escalating. Her approach adjusts depending on the situation and person to protect all facets employee relations. Her flexibility, and that of the rest of the team at BSHR, is greatly appreciated.
