TESTIMONIALS
"Empact have proved to be a valuable asset to our company for their HR advice. Always on hand via email or phone, we receive the information and advice needed promptly so that we can act almost immediately once a HR issue arises. Lynda and her team are extremely professional and the service offered to our company of 165 + employees is extremely affordable."
LEE FISHER, INTERIOR GOODS DIRECT
"With HR and employment law not being my forte, I use Empact on an as and when required basis. The advice is good, brief, and concise, taking out any ‘grey’ areas and leaving me with a straightforward decision to make. Lynda was introduced to me by my previous Managing Director and when he left to pastures new, there was a good familiarity where I felt Lynda and I had worked together for years. I would recommend her services for either small HR issues to compiling company handbooks and contracts of employment."
JOHN LITTLEWOOD, HUDDERSFIELD FINE WORSTEDS
"We have been using the services of Empact since 2010. As we are a small textile company without an HR department, we contact Lynda for all our employment queries. We always receive a very prompt and professional response. The advice given is clearly understandable offering a practical common sense approach to solving problems.
The regular newsletters are helpful and informative keeping us up to date with the changes in Employment law. Empact provides our company with an excellent value for money service."
JANE TAYLOR, BOWER ROEBUCK
"On behalf of my colleagues at ZH&S ltd we are delighted that your daughter Francesca will be joining you at Empact to further bolster your already professional approach to employment HR + training.
Given the various issues that we have had to address over some years there is no doubt that Francesca will have an interesting career. It has always been helpful to understand that issues to hand are properly understood and acted on promptly, thoroughly and professionally.
It is for the aforementioned reasons that we have enjoyed a measure of success. Further it is particularly respected that Empact is there to help both employer and employee and has a spine. I have every good reason to recommend Empact to other employers."

Lynda’s experience and advice is also invaluable when we are required to deal with difficult situations involving personnel."
