Straight-talking advice, solutions-focused support
I am the Group HR Director at IBMG – the largest independent building materials distributor in the South.
We’ve been working with Halborns since 2020 and I can honestly say that without their straight-talking approach, support and guidance, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
From attending our meetings, to updating us on upcoming employment law changes, their timely and solutions-focused responses to queries, and their strategic approach to mergers and acquisitions – everything is within the realms of possibility for them.
Their Intelligent Employment library holds a wealth of documentation to support the freedom within a framework that our business operates in, and is always updated when new legislation lands.
I asked the wider People team for their feedback on our journey so far and their responses cement exactly what Halborns is all about. That the learning ends, with practical advice – whether that be dealing with Stefan, Rena, or more recently, Stephanie – all advice comes with a full explanation, outlining levels of risk from the start. No query is ever too much.
In short, we’ve received exceptional service over the last few years from Halborns and long may it continue.
