Here’s Why Our Clients Love Frances Gillespie HR

Having worked closely with Fran for 10 years through various ventures, I cannot imagine taking care of business without her.

Her professionalism and expertise, coupled with her commercial awareness and most importantly her innate sense of the right way to treat people, have been invaluable, particularly where a healthy company ethos is key.

Quite simply, for all things HR, recruitment, training and personal development (myself included), she is the answer.

Alex Derrick, The Capital Hotel

Frances is clever. She takes an intellectual, broad view of any situation you present her with. She is also a pragmatist with a really good understanding of the day to day challenges of running a (licensed / restaurant) retail business.

Not only can she sort out straightforward, and not so straightforward, HR issues, she can immerse herself in the business and become a very useful member of the development or operating team as required.
