“Sharon really spends time getting to know her clients – understanding the history and culture of the business, and ensuring that what she does, and how she does it, is appropriate. She is personable, enthusiastic and very much a team player, working to ensure collective rather than individual success.”

Global HR Director
Asset Management

“Sharon has the ability to engage with technical staff of all levels as evidenced by the work she did supporting a transition to Agile working methods, organising events and conferences and in creating technical promotional videos, web content and brochures.

Feedback from new colleagues has been fantastic–a credit to Sharon and I’d be delighted to work with her again”.

Technology Leader
Finance Services

“Sharon bought to the team valued expertise, a pragmatic, commercial and methodical approach, whilst offering valued support during a period of ambiguity and transformation.”

Senior Resourcing Leader
Construction

“Sharon’s particular strengths are in internal communications and being quick to understand business needs. Her thinking is driven by what is right for the business rather than coming in and rolling out what she has done elsewhere.”

Global HR Director
Financial Services

“Sharon’s style is one of total commitment to the needs and objectives of the project. She strikes a good balance between developing friendly working relationships and being firm on project deliverables. Sharon is thorough and reliable and also clear when something is not within scope or not achievable within set timescales. She combines the ability to focus on details and taking a broader view.”

Senior People Leader
Construction

“What a joy to work with such a professional! I cannot speak highly enough of the manner in which Sharon went about this role. With a blank piece of paper she was able to help the company develop a people proposition that enabled us to hire and integrate a significant number of new colleagues in a very short time. Sharon is a self-starter, knows how to navigate an organisation and ultimately gets things done.”
