Testimonials

Rayner was an integral part of the SLT of Tibbett & Britten Distribution for the J Sainsbury’s contract in Maidstone. During her tenure Rayner negotiated at length with the Trade Union for an updated and more commercially sound Agreement, as well as negotiating annual pay settlements and reducing absence from 8% to 3%.

 

Rayner’s knowledge of employment law supported us through complex workforce issues and she was very much trusted by the SLT to just get on with it, which contributed to the depot becoming profitable once more.

Drew Russell,
General Manager,
Tibbett & Britten Maidstone

I worked with Rayner for 11 years, in my capacity as a senior officer in Kent Police, on complex ER cases. Rayner always provided expert, practical, proportionate, yet business-focused, advice. I valued her judgement and pragmatic approach when dealing with complicated people matters.

Any business working with Rayner will benefit from her expertise and professionalism.

Dave Pate,
Safeguarding & Security Professional

Rayner has provided me with exceptional HR support during a potentially discriminatory pay dispute with a previous employer. During this worrying time, Rayner provided clear, practical and highly effective advice that was easy to understand and apply at every stage. Her professionalism, calm approach and understanding of employment law helped me navigate a stressful and complex situation with confidence. What stood out most was Rayner’s ability to break down difficult concepts into straight forward guidance, ensuring I was supported and in control of the decisions I made. Thanks to Rayner’s expertise, the matter was resolved efficiently and fairly for both sides. I would highly recommend Rayner to anyone seeking knowledgeable HR support with a high level of clarity and integrity.

Rick Hill,

Associate Consultant

As a senior leader in policing, I took over a command in 2022 where it was evident the team was experiencing high levels of absence and under-performance. Rayner provided clear guidance which was put into practice, ensuring we were compliant with both employment legislation, as well as the complex Police (Performance) Regulations 2020 and aligning with organisational values. The advice given installed confidence to address challenging people issues constructively, whilst maintaining a supportive team culture.

 

As a result of Rayner’s advice, absence levels were significantly reduced, the overall team performance improved and this resulted in a better engaged and positive working environment for all.
