Client Testimonials

“Barry is the kind of HR leader who makes recruitment smarter, faster and kinder, without ever dropping the commercial ball. Across four businesses a 1st Tier Automotive, a Manufacturing company, a Food business and Engineering organisation he gave me crystal-clear briefs, realistic timelines, rapid feedback loops and offers that landed first time.
He sees the whole HR picture: workforce planning, ER, reward, talent, culture and compliance he connects it to the P&L.
The result? Better hires, fewer surprises and teams that actually stick. Our toughest brief with him was a Quality Engineer; Barry removed roadblocks, aligned stakeholders and we closed it cleanly. If you want a partner who brings depth in every area of HR and turns it into outcomes, work with Barry.”

He doesn’t just solve problems—he anticipates them, creating solutions that help businesses thrive while making employees feel truly supported. Now that he’s launched his own HR business, I have no doubt he’ll bring the same professionalism, insight, and warmth that made him such a trusted advisor before. Any company that partners with him is in very capable hands.”
