He knows people and he knows business and brings a practical, commercial and down to earth approach to HR that is, frankly, often lacking.

For any business looking for HR advice and support, I have no hesitation in recommending him 100%”

“I have worked with Steve Booth for approximately 10 years. Steve has been a consistently valuable resource over this time. Steves ability to look through the noise and technical clutter and guide you to the core problems and issues is invaluable. Steve is also a great guide and mentor for running through ‘what if’ type solutions as often you are too close and simply do not see that you can be introducing a new problem. Steve has been my consistent go to person when I need objective guidance. I highly recommend Steve and will continue to use him to improve the performance of my business.”
