Used these through an add that come with a policy i held at the time. The solicitor i had was sarah marten. I felt like she genuinely couldn’t give a shit about whether I won or lost. After explaining everything and how detrimental this was going to be. She never fought my case and in fact felt like she was putting me on trial when she was meant to be working/defending for me. The company that did back me did everything in their power to help me and it worked. Never even got to court. They git the claimant to settle for far far less than she wanted. I would never ever use work nest again. If your case doesn’t work for them, then your on your own. I’m appalled looking back on how I was treated compared to the the company that got me the result i needed.

Terrible service. Made it way to complicated for us to use as a small business, we ended up figuring our our own redundancies. Locking small companies in for a minimum 3 years is only good for them. Businesses change constantly, we scale up and scale down as many other great business do. Not these guys. BEWARE!

Ben Cuncarr at WorkNest has been fantastic—his knowledge, honesty, and professionalism made a great impression from the start. He provided clear and practical advice, demonstrating a deep understanding of HR support tailored to our business needs.Trust is vital when choosing an HR partner, and Ben’s approach reassured me that WorkNest is the right choice.This was just the sales stage, but if the rest of the journey is anything like this, I have no doubt we’ll be in excellent hands. I’d highly recommend WorkNest to any business looking for reliable and expert HR support.

Recently signed up with worknest, Ben (sales) was brilliant really efficient from day one and was at hand to answer any queries we had. The on-boarding process is really quick and the essential HR support is really good, response time with queries is same day. As an SME company this is working well for us, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Worknest if your looking for HR related support.Recovery Support Limited

I wanted to express my dissatisfaction regarding the meeting today and the communication I received from your team. During my call, I was very clear that I was only interested in a one-off visit for Health & Safety support. However, I was informed today that your service would require a minimum commitment of one year, despite assurances during our call that a one-off visit was possible.It is extremely unprofessional to mislead clients in this manner, and waste their time, and I am disappointed that the information provided was not truthful or aligned with what was discussed.

We would not recommend WorkNest. The advice is professional but eliciting a response or trying to get through to anyone simply takes days. Our business cant wait this long.

We have used Ellis Whitham for well over 20+ years, 12 years with “CityStore Self Storage” as well as many years before with our previous business “KeepSafe Self Storage”. Primarily we use Ellis Whittam for our HR support as well as our annual H&S compliance reviews at each of our self storage sites. We have recommended them to many others and they are widely known and used within the Self Storage industry. Their online portals makes accessing, updating or sharing any reports or data very easy. The HR teams are especially good at what they do and really do help and offer great advice.

Rob was professional but friendly during his visit and was able to point me in the right directions about certain health and safety matters that I was not sure about. Compared with another H&S Auditor from a different company, Rob took a more relaxed approach which works better for me personally. Recommended.

Good quality advice and service. Friendly and Helpful assistance covering HR and H & S issues. The response to emailed enquiries is timely and it is unusual for there not to be anyone available to talk through issues on the telephone. In comparison to previous HR support, though this is not a cheap option it is a huge improvement.
