I would highly recommend speaking with Vivo HR. We chose them three years ago based on a trusted partner's recommendation, and it has proved to be a good decision. As an SME, maintaining best practice and compliance with rapid changes in HR is tough, but their pragmatic, straightforward, and transparent advice makes it much easier. They provide excellent, reliable support in a very challenging business environment.

We've used vivoHR as our HR consultants for several years now, working with Sarah-Louise on a number of issues over that time. Originally through personal recommendation, the service offered is very professional and comes with knowledge, experience and patience(!) I'm more than happy to highly recommend them.

Sam provided our managers at Clarke and Son Solicitors with Performance Management Training at the end of April. Her half day session was informative and engaging, balancing management theory with practical tasks to help upskill the team. Given the upcoming changes to employment legislation I felt our managers left the training fully equipped to manage performance across their teams with more confidence. Thanks Sam, it was a pleasure to have you help us.

We’ve had a great experience working with vivoHR. They’ve been a real support in helping us stay up to date with employment regulations and making sure we remain compliant. They are also always there when we need a second opinion or just a quick sanity check. What really stands out is how they explain everything. No jargon, no overcomplicating things - just clear, straightforward advice that is easy to understand and act on. Running a business comes with enough to think about, so having that level of support and clarity makes a big difference. Would happily recommend to any business owner who wants peace of mind around HR.

I asked Sarah-Louise from VivoHR to speak about the new Employment Rights Act for an event with local business owners. She was excellent. Her friendly and approachable style meant that, what can be a dry subject, became an engaging, useful summary of essential actions. I will definitely ask her to speak again at more of our events. Her expertise in HR shone through. Thank you again Sarah-Louise for your time and support.
