Testimonials
Frank Haslam Milan
Irene Liddle worked for Frank Haslam Milan for almost 10 years. Throughout the whole of that time period Irene can only be described as an ambassador for our business.
She has provided dedication, commitment, loyalty, energy and enthusiasm to every role and every project she has ever carried out.
Irene’s individual personality
traits are highly valued in business and she applied these traits through the delivery and application of her work. Irene’s business contributions and outputs
were always professional and of the highest level of performance.
I have no doubt that Maia HR Solutions will deliver all the qualities and performance levels
that we were fortunate to experience every day in our business.

McNally & Thompson UK Contracts Ltd
Our initial thoughts were, can we afford this and do we actually need it? After an employee survey and working with Maia for several months now, the answer
to both questions is a resounding yes.
It is a real benefit for SME’s to be able to tap into the wealth of experience that Maia can offer for a fraction of the price it would cost to
employ or train a full time HR Manager.

Over the years, I have dealt with many HR professionals and I have found Irene to be extremely focused on achieving practical and realistic
HR resolutions for her employer and, latterly, in her own business, for her clients.
She has a wealth of experience in the HR field and
is able to take a wide and pragmatic view of issues and events to provide her clients with a cost effective and sensible solution to their problems.

Case Study 1 - McNally & Thompson UK Contracts Ltd
HR SUPPORT = BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT and COST SAVINGS (who would have thought that?)
McNally & Thompson were my first client. Electrical contractors employing around 40 people direct. I remember going to see Fred just after I had
created Maia HR Solutions to talk to him about the services I could provide to help him manage the people related issues within his business.
Understandably Fred was wondering if he could afford it, and did he actually need it. After all, the business had done okay without any
professional HR support. He made the comparison between the professional H & S advice he paid for from external sources and decided to start
with the level 2 programme for £279 per month. This meant we could start looking at some improvement work as well as having telephone and email support when he needed it.
Starting with a HR review, we checked where the business stood in terms of legal compliance as well as recognising where improvements could be
made in the employment, management and development of his employees.
Business owner Fred says “After the employee survey to check what our
starting position was and working with Maia for several months now, the answer to both my initial questions of affordability and necessity is a resounding yes.
We have not only reviewed several procedures/policies, but without just generating paperwork, have introduced new procedures to assist in
simple matters such as how we identify our own plant on sites and how materials & PPE are requisitioned. Both will save us time and money in
terms of labour, theft and efficiency of having the right materials at the right time. We gauged a potential £30K pa saving.
In addition we have created an improvement team where members of staff join us for a brainstorming session to bring new ideas and
methods to the table. This is purely voluntary and has no reward other than the improvement of our working methods and that it gives
individuals a chance to feel part of the company’s decision making. Again this has been very well received.
It is a real benefit for SME’s to be able to tap into the wealth of experience that Maia can offer for a fraction of the price it would cost to employ or train a full time HR Manager”.

MAIA ASSIST WITH CONTINUED BUSINESS GROWTH
When I first met with Gordon MacPherson Snr, Managing Director of Seaham Safety Services Ltd, I knew it was a company I wanted to do business with.
A family business specialising in providing excellent H & S advice and training to the construction industry as well as assessing for a range of NVQ
qualifications. The passion of Gordon to deliver first class services to his customers matched his enthusiasm to be the best employer possible to his
ever growing members of staff.
Already we have reviewed contracts of employment, introduced an employee handbook with comprehensive policies and
procedures relating to the employment of the team at Seaham Safety Services and looked at various ways that the team can be rewarded for their contribution to business success.
The next project on the list is to introduce an appraisal system which reviews employee performance and defines the next objectives to be worked towards to ensure
the business achieves its goals and aspirations.
Business owner Gordon says "We have found Irene to be extremely professional and knowledgeable, resulting in both the Company and our employees benefiting
from sound HR policies and procedures that can be implemented in both a practical and cost effective manner".
