Jonathan was easy to work with, advising in areas where we can make improvements and his communication was excellent. His expertise was greatly appreciated and we look forward to working with him in the future.

We have engaged the services of Stallard Kane Associates for over six years now. Their knowledge, application and professionalism is second to none. Having them on board for both health and safety and employment law advice and guidance gives us peace of mind, knowing that we are doing the right thing, and they help to not only protect our business, but also our employees. We can confidently ask for guidance on any employment or H&S aspect at any time, and their prompt reply is like having someone in the next office working with us and not for us.

Stallard Kane have been invaluable in providing us with professional advice and guidance throughout our company health and safety reorganisation, and assisting us with obtaining our Safe Contractor and CHAS accreditation. All their members of staff have been exceedingly quick to respond to our enquiries throughout this process. We would not hesitate in recommending them.

Stallard Kane have worked with Cover Structure for many, many years, both on HR and health and safety. We are a very busy company and many, many times have asked SKA for their help and advice at a moment’s notice. They have never failed to deliver with a smile on their face. With regards to health and safety, the site audits they carry out for us work really well in keeping us and our clients focused on our responsibilities regarding health and safety. For the last four years, CSL have been accredited with Achilles Building Confidence and take great comfort in knowing that SKA will be by our side on audit day. The annual visits to our premises in Leeds again are beneficial, and we embrace the advice given by both HR and health and safety representatives from SKA.

Our health and safety consultant from Stallard Kane Associates Ltd is like another member of our team – he is always easy to contact and quick to respond. Stallard Kane continues to provide us with a first class service – health and safety is critical to our business and, because we work with Stallard Kane, we know we are compliant and our health and safety exceeds the rigorous standards expected in our industry.

From my initial HR services enquiry through to completion of the preliminary audit and subsequent dealings with our designated advisor Christopher Platt, the whole process has been seamless and stress-free. Chris always responds swiftly, giving clear advice in his usually amiable manner.  I would unequivocally recommend Stallard Kane Associates for HR & H&S services.

Stallard Kane have been assisting Dodds Solicitors for many years and our advisor Chris has been working on our HR advice for a lot of that time. This is very helpful as he knows our setup and doesn't always need background information because he remembers. We are very pleased to have SK directly on email/phone, the fourth emergency service.

Just a quick note to say how wonderful Richard has been since becoming our HR consultant at Young Black. His knowledge and patience has been outstanding and he is always happy to chat and give advice (even when some of our questions are probably daft)! He is a very personable guy and although he has, I’m sure, been extremely busy during these strange times, he is never too busy to help and provide guidance in what has also been a busy time for ourselves.

I wanted to drop you a line to say just how much of a pleasure it has been to have Steve on site this past fortnight (and also, of course, his colleagues during the earlier phase). He’s been incredibly efficient, understanding of our operational procedures etc. and a thoroughly nice chap. Please do forward this as necessary to higher up in your organisation, as I’d like his efforts and hard work to be recognised. From a very large list, and a difficult project to plan, I believe we were almost exactly on target with circa 5,000 items. We now know that we’re all up to date for PAT across our three buildings up to the end of the year – this has been a vital component of both being ready to reopen after lockdown, and also as we prepare to bring students back in September.

In this strange time we are all experiencing at the moment the help from Richard on the Phone in Employment Law and Steve in Health and Safety, along with Dawn today on Live Chat has been invaluable. Would not want to try and get through COVID-19 without them.  

We have just had our first audit. Claudia came to our premises and went through everything, explaining everything thoroughly. We used the services late last year when we had a serious matter with an employee. Claudia was straight on the phone and took control of the situation and guided us, step by step. We highly recommend Stallard Kane.

David has worked with us for several years and has made significant progress with us. We had used previous consultants who worked from a distance, appeared once a year for the annual audit, and produced mountains of unused and unread generic paperwork. David has a much more pragmatic and hands on approach. We have over fifty members of staff and he not only knows their names, but has worked out their characters. That last part is important, because he knows how to get them to respond, and raise their own concerns to him. He has also targeted my managers, who previously felt H&S wasn’t their problem. With group meetings and open two way discussions, he has changed their attitudes and, ultimately, the company’s culture. Spending several days on site every month has been key to his success. He is free to go around and watch what we do and how we do it. He will talk to staff and engage them in the process, then sit down with myself or my managers to improve the safety aspects of what we are doing. The regularity of his visits also puts a discipline into our business. He will have highlighted a couple of areas that need addressing and will expect them to be done prior to his next visit. This has also worked well. It’s like painting the Forth Bridge – you will never have a complete policy, but our staff are in a much safer working environment, as are we as business owners. The key element is that a business owner or manager wants to make that H&S culture change, if they do, then David (Stallard Kane) will facilitate that change very effectively.

We have been using Stallard Kane since 2012 for our HR and Employment Law advice and management assistance. We also use them to help manage our health and safety at work. I have always found them to be friendly, expert, accessible, practical, up to date, purveyors of “real world” advice and they have always gone “the extra mile” for our business. They are very much part of the team and an indispensable part of the business. We have been approached by other “me too’s” trying to take the business, but we’ve stayed with SK – sometimes you instinctively know when you are onto a good thing! I would highly recommend them.  

I cannot praise Stallard Kane enough for all their help and support over the last 10 years plus, for both Health and Safety and HR more recently.  The consultants take the time to get to know the business – I have built a great relationship with Paul Kent and more recently Claudia Williams – they are always there for us at the drop of a hat – it is great to know we always have proper support and we really feel like they’re one of the team.   

I find Stallard Kane are very useful and user friendly with their services, they have helped steer me on all manner of health and safety issues. I would heartily recommend them for anything health and safety related.

Chris our advisor is so helpful, patient and always pleasant to speak to, His knowledge is amazing and puts you at ease over complex issues, nothing ever seems too much trouble. If he is on the phone when I ring he always calls you back straight away. He takes the panic away from HR procedures and is a great sounding board if you just want to check something out.

Very professional service, always eager to help if any problems arise and nothing is too much trouble.

The support we receive from Stallard Kane is always exceptional. For a small business, it is a huge relief to know that support and guidance is always there to ensure we are up to date and compliant with all aspects of Employment Law.

Chris and Claudia and other members of the team who have jumped in to help out have been great and I've always had very prompt responses to my questions. They are really helpful guiding me through certain issues that I've never come across before, particularly the guidance we've had on Covid and Furlough etc. I have attended a couple of the webinars, they've also been very helpful.

Stallard Kane have been assisting Dodds Solicitors for many years and our advisor Chris has been working as our HR advice for a lot of that time. This is very helpful as he knows our setup and doesn't always need background information because he remembers. We are very pleased to have SK directly on email/phone, the fourth emergency service.

We have been partnering with Stallard Kane for a number of years now. They provide us with high class, professional service covering all our H&S needs and also recently ISO45001 audit guidance to successfully achieve the standard accreditation. I would highly recommend them as a Company, particular thanks on this occasion to Julie Smith for all her sterling hard work, and Carl Currie for the opportunity to work with Julie.

We are a small business near Scunthorpe with well over 100 appliances that needed PAT testing and we were recommended SK compliance inc pat test UK. They were brilliant. They responded straight away and did the testing within a few days. The engineer was a very nice guy who just got on and did his work quickly and professionally. We didn't realise SK compliance also serviced fire extinguishers, but the engineer was happy to check them too. A great firm and local, although they work nationwide. Thank you, we will definitely use you again in the future.

I find that Stallard Kane advisers are on the ball, keeping in touch with legislation, updates and making sure that we, as clients are compliant in all aspects. They have our back and do a very good job of it.

Russell and Julie of SKA are now an established part of the Alcon team ensuring a safe environment for all those that work in, and visit our manufacturing sites. Their creativity and expertise has led to new approaches and renewed vigour in this very important aspect of our business.

Stallard Kane are great to work with. No matter which department you need (HR, Health & Safety or Training) someone is always available to give you comprehensive help and advice on what you require. Even if my advisor is in a meeting or on annual leave, a colleague of theirs will help. Cannot recommend Stallard Kane highly enough!

Claudia was brilliant! So patient, friendly and clear in her explanation of things. She also sent through the follow-up email impressively quick!

Chris always gives clear and consise adivce tailored to our business. The service Stallard Kane provide is so much the superior of competitors out there, thanks to their personal approach, being able to speak to a dedicated advisor who understands the needs of our business really makes their service invaluable. Thanks Chris!

The Training department, specifically Faye, are super helpful and are able to signpost to any training that our business requires and are fantastic at finding us the best price. Faye is always prompt at getting information to you on training matters, always answering any questions clearly, aiding us to understand the composition and need for any training.

I had need for some concise HR advice and quick. An issue had arisen with a team member and I was not sure what the situation was and how best to handle the matter correctly. I sent an email to the Business Shield Address and was promptly called by Ben in the HR team. He listened to the problem, asked some pertinent questions and then provided my options. He availed me to the “language” and wording that should be used to ensure the impact was made, and also offered to support me through the process if needed, going forward. I have just had the meeting with my team member and, having taken Ben’s advice, I was able to deal with this tricky matter in a caring but firm manner, meaning the situation is now clarified allowing us to move forward, clear on each other’s expectations and avoiding future issues. A huge thank you to Stallard Kane Associates for this great service – and I know they will be my first choice moving forward if I need them again for any other HR matters.

We have been working with Stallard Kane for three years now, during this time they have been extremely helpful, knowledgeable and accessible – it is without a doubt the reason we have come so far in getting our Health and Safety to a very high standard and being awarded the HAE EHA SafeHire certification.

Having worked with Stallard Kane for about 18 months now, we have complete confidence in them and the advice they give us. These guys know their stuff and help make sure we know it too! They’re proactive, knowledgeable and supportive. We very much regard Lee and Stallard Kane as part of the team here at Classico Marble Ltd.
