Testimonials
Mohammed – Practice ManagerFantastic service from Breathing Space HR.
They’re quick, efficient and always get straight to the point.
I’d recommend them to anyone — they’re well ahead of the competition
Alison Stewart – Business ManagerI would absolutely recommend them. I like the fact we don’t have to enter into a long-term contract and just pay for hours as we need them. They are very responsive and have safely guided us through a number of complex HR issues, including redundancy, gross misconduct and dismissal processes.
Lisa Francis – PCN ManagerI have worked with Breathing Space for several years and I don’t think I’d ever look anywhere else now! They understand the distinctions between practice and PCN business and have developed a strong primary care client base around Leeds. I have a dedicated HR consultant who knows my business and staff really well… Absolutely invaluable to my organisation.

Noel Hartley – Keighley and Worth Valley RailwayBreathing Space have been a great help to me since we started receiving support with our HR.

Charles – Director – Hydrotech UK LtdI own a manufacturing business in Bradford with 30 employees, many of whom are involved providing mobile engineering services across the UK.
We also benefit from a strong and experienced management team. I would recommend Breathing Space HR to any business for several reasons, here are just a few:
- They provide unambigious, clear and up to date advice quickly and in a friendly manner followed up by “easy-to-tweak” templates.
- Collectively they possess vast experience from many sectors gathered from working with businesses large and small
- There is a good team spirit where each member supports the other – this results in them over-delivering on the promises they make regarding timelines.
- Their “pay-up-front” flexible package offers excellent value compared with what I have found elsewhere (over the last 20 years).

David Farley — General Manager — 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.”
Liam Vasey — Chief Financial Officer — 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.”
Peter C. Wulff — Managing Director — 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.”

They are always on hand to provide sound, professional advice, whilst being friendly and approachable at the same time.”
Rachel Woolf — Founder — Street Storage“Thank you so much to the team at Breathing Space HR. The How to HR portal/resource is so brilliant, especially for smaller organisations like ours who can’t afford HR resources as much as we would like to but who value our teams just as much, if not more, than larger organisations! You are absolutely right that HR concerns keep business and not-for-profit owners like me up at night, amongst a load of other things (!), but this resource will be so useful.”
