Testimonials

We had used a HR advice service before but nothing like this. We found this friendly, approachable and reasonably priced. The best part was that they cared about and got to know our business. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Phill O’Brien Consulting to any business.

Friendly, helpful and business like. Phill got us through a really difficult and stressful set of staffing problems. I don’t know what we would have done without him.

...Phill invests in a significant amount of research and preparation on all projects - not only in direct relation to the specific project but also more broadly around the client and its historical and geographical context. With a methodical foundation to his work, Phill is perceptive and intuitive in his thinking and his communication skills afford clients a real clarity of intent and approach to his work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Phill for consultancy projects within any sector...

Managing Director
Capacity Building Network

...Since 2003 we have engaged Phill on a number of consultancy projects; evaluating services, developing policy and undertaking research around HR. Phill's strengths are depth of knowledge, attention to detail, thoroughness and excellent communication. Post engagement we have always felt that our investment in Phill paid dividends - this is the reason we continue to go back to him. In 2004 we asked Phill to deliver equality and diversity training to directors and senior managers and were so impressed with his delivery that we made the training mandatory for all our employees and now book Phill 12 months in advance...
