We’re proud of the high levels of service that we provide, and the long term relationships that this has allowed us to We’re proud of the high levels of service that we provide, and the long term relationships that this has allowed us to build with our clients. In fact, we still continue to work with our very first one, despite having no contractual tie-ins. Indeed, most of our new business comes from the word-of-mouth recommendations of people we’ve helped previously. But don’t just take our word for it. We think our testimonials speak for themselves. If you’re based in the Derby area, you probably already know someone who knows us. So, just go ahead and ask them yourself what we’re like to work with!
Thank you. The recruitment process that we went through worked really well, especially linking our values to finding ‘the’ person and not ‘a’ person. This really helped us with an important role that we have spent many years trying to recruit the right individual. Look forward to the next find!

We were extremely pleased working with Loates HR Recruitment. They are responsive and thorough so we felt confident that they understood our requirements and provided us with a stellar candidate. Other agencies attempted to compete on this hire but they missed the mark.

Sarah helped our senior staff with management and HR training. All feedback from staff was positive and I'm sure it wasn't just because of the chocolate rewards used in some of the exercises! Her training and insight has aided us in targeting potential future Directors of the company and empowered other staff in their management roles.The above text was from 8 years ago. It’s 2023 now and we’re still receiving the same great quality of service 👍🙏

Whether its quick advice needed on a tricky issue or a bigger piece of project work I have found the team at Loates to be through, responsive and very professional. Many thanks for all the support, Rebecca, Charity CEO.

Loates HR have been brilliant to work with, and have made the review of our HR policies and procedures nice and smooth. Matilda really knows her stuff (as I'm sure all of the team do - we've just dealt with Matilda a bit more) and has a way of breaking it all down in to manageable chunks.Very friendly, and easy to approach, even with the elements of HR that are less nice.I have, and will continue to, recommend Loates HR 🙂

My husband was having some issues with his previous employer relating to the funding of his apprenticeship. Sarah's knowledge of employment law, apprenticeships and employment contracts meant we had all the information we needed to put the matter to bed quickly and amicably. We can't thank Sarah enough for her expertise and her professionalism, she really went above and beyond to help us. I would highly recommend Loates HR in a heartbeat to anybody needing their services.

I represent a Nottingham based charity and we used Loates to support us with our recent appointment of a new CEO. Having identified our doe doc needs through early voice and video conversations, the entire end to end process ran very smoothly with Gill giving us great support from coordinating our shortlist to devising the interview process and facilitating the decision process through to successful appointment. We were very pleased with the process and support and would not hesitate in recommending Loates to others.

It is a mark of just how extraordinarily skilled, efficient and effective a firm is, that you cannot find anything new to say about them in a testimonial, that hasn’t already been highlighted dozens of times before!Yes, the team at Loates HR are hugely professional, jaw-droppingly knowledgeable and masterfully efficient. And yes, there is nothing worth knowing in the world of HR at which they are not already expert.

Recently new to Loates HR, we have found the service to be efficient, friendly and most importantly to us their flexibility has been paramount, adapting quickly to our needs for a different service to their usual offering. In my absence the style of advice given to my colleagues hasn't been dictatorial, as they understand the practical challenges in day to day. They approach this with a coaching style to educate and inform. As a stand-alone HR professional I'm looking forward to many years of working with the Loates team as an extension to my support network. Thank you Loates HR.

Sarah has been most helpful to Safe and Sound Charity with advice and support since we became neighbours at Darley Abbey Mills in 2019. Her knowledge and expertise dealing with people and employment issues are outstanding. To add to this Sarah is a caring, funny and selfless person. Loates have also provided some excellent training for us. I would highly recommend her and Loates for any HR or training needs.

Loates HR have assisted us on a range of personnel queries and their support and knowledge has been second to none. It’s a comfort knowing that they are just a phone call away and always ready to support and guide us through what we need. All of the ladies I have spoken with at Loates HR, have an ability to explain in a clear, professional and supportive manner. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing HR assistance.

As a client of Loates HR, I've always been very impressed with their work. They are thorough and professional in what they do, but do it in a friendly way that makes them easy to work with. I will continue to use them whenever I need HR support.

Sarah has been my HR advisor for a number of years. Her calm, professionalism and solution driven, supportive approach guides the non expert through the minefield of legislation, always taking into account the needs of the individual client. I would recommend Sarah and the Team at Loates HR without hesitation.
