Testimonials

Our business had a major people change process to go through and a friend recommended Adam to me. It proved to be an excellent recommendation as I found Adam very knowledgeable, trust worthy and
straight forward to deal with. Our business will continue to work with Adam and Petaurum on future projects.

Adam and the team at Petaurum HR have been integral to supporting the development of our business. Extensive information, advice and guidance have supported us with all of our HR processes and procedures. We are expanding as an organisation and Adam and the team have always gone above and beyond to support with any HR challenges that we have faced. We’re looking forward to building on our relationship with them as we move forward

The team at Petaurum were able to step in at short notice to provide an invaluable HR support service. Due to unexpected resource challenge we faced a significant gap to guide and assist managers with employee relations concerns, in reaching out to Adam he was able to provide a highly cost effective and efficient solution that provided business continuity which in turn gave the business reassurance. The service received made the experience easy and effortless and I would not hesitate to recommend Petaurum.

I have had the opportunity to work with Adam from Petaurum Solutions on a large scale IT system implementation and HR Transformation Programme for a large County Council. Adam’s extensive HR experience meant he was extremely effective in leading both Programmes to ensure fit for purpose solutions would be in place for the organisation. His ability to tackle and resolve a number of issues and challenges associated with these Programme’s was excellent as he has a natural pragmatic and collaborative style of working. I can highly recommend Adam and his company to help support you with small, medium or large projects or generally to resolve complex HR issues.

The Petaurum team inspires and delivers with insight, integrity and humour. They have operated in an emerging market (welfare to work), leading on a number of high profile transformational change projects affecting thousands of staff and have delivered time and again. They have a rare ability of being able to operate at a strategic level whilst diving into the detail when they need to. Finally, they always look for what’s possible – its dreadfully corny but they really do find solutions to difficult problems. 

Adam has greatly assisted our Australian Operations in the alignment of Human Resource Functions with that of our Parent Company in the UK. Adam continues to provide guidance remotely. Adam’s personable and expert approach ensures that his messages are clear and has an excellent capability to develop theory into practical application where his recommendations are embraced by the end user and add significant value to the organisation as a whole. 

Throughout the very effective time Adam spent with us in Australia, working as part of our team, to improve the efficacy of our Human Resources function, his conduct was exemplary. In particular, as few visitors to this country seem to realise, for acceptance, they must demonstrate personal characteristics that are very particular; expert knowledge of their professional area, ability to apply it to Australian conditions and to do so with authority based on the efficacy of what they propose rather than their rank. Adam, on the basis of his time, with us is, quite simply, a model to which others might aspire but rarely achieve his level of performance. A hugely talented consultant! 

I had the great pleasure of working with Adam during the design, commissioning and implementation of a complex new hospital. Part of this project included sourcing, shortlisting and recruiting more than 150 new staff to safely open the new hospital. Adam applied a common-sense approach and professional leadership to achieve this challenging objective. I was lucky enough to interview many candidates together with Adam and his command of HR practices and procedures together with his friendly approach was simply superb. It was a joy to watch and learn from him. Nothing was too much trouble for him and without his input, the final goal would simply have not been realised. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam and his services without hesitation.

We are extremely pleased to have selected Petaurum Solutions to support CYT on this challenging organisational change programme. They provided insightful HR consulting advice both in planning the approach to the programme and throughout the consultation process with our employees. Petaurum Solutions skilfully guided and supported our management team at every stage of the process giving them the tools and confidence to deliver the programmes objectives. The programme has been an overwhelming success and I would like to thank Adam and the team for doing such an excellent job.

Adam’s extensive HR background meant that he was able to hit the ground running with no further explanation needed from Lincolnshire County Council. He was able to understand the context of the project and our needs, through his experience with different systems and his understanding of training, payroll and recruitment functions.

Adam also brings a great strategic awareness, as well as a practical understanding of the steps and processes involved in order to implement the strategy. His breadth of knowledge and experience, was a great asset during the project. Crucially, Petaurum Solutions sat as a neutral partner of a much wider team of other professionals, administrative and technical people, from at least 5 different organisations, involved in the switching from the previous suppliers to the new system, and have been key in supporting this team and the wider Council in delivering change.

Our work with Petaurum Solutions was built upon an open and honest relationship with candid dialogue, where we worked together to explore HR strategies and concepts that would benefit Baldwin & Francis. I was able to define the outcomes that I felt were essential to Baldwin & Francis to motivate staff and grow the business. Petaurum Solutions then translated these into sustainable and bespoke HR solutions that we could implement and manage ourselves. I am pleased that this partnership and process has resulted in us achieving our objectives, leading to Baldwin & Francis becoming an engaged and high performing business, where our staff feel motivated and proud to work for the business.

As caring is one of our core business values, we asked all of our partners in this project to strive for excellence, deliver on our promises and succeed together, aspects underscored by maintaining a structured and uncomplicated approach. Working with Adam from Petaurum Solutions was not merely a delight but proved to be 100% satisfactory, in all respects, from concept creation to delivery.

The support we have received has been invaluable, and I would not hesitate to recommend Petaurum Solutions services.  Mark was friendly and helpful even coming into the Practice to explain and demonstrate how the process should be done. 

They guided us through the process of auto enrolment. Providing the staging dates, issuing the relevant templates to submit the information to the pension company. Informing us of when we were due to complete our declaration of compliance and giving the relevant information to make this an easy task. Also keeping us up to date with any Automatic Enrolment Pension increases coming into effect.

I studied HR as part of my degree so wouldn’t describe myself as a novice, but even so, having the expertise, experience and support of the Petaurum team was just what I needed to give me the confidence and assurance that my plans were in the best interests of my business and my team. 

Thanks to getting the help of Petaurum, my business is going from strength to strength.

Personally cannot recommend Mark and the team highly enough.  Originally engaged their services at a ‘critical’ time and their support helped me take action in the correct and appropriate manner.  We now have an ongoing relationship and have implemented better practices internally to outline clear objectives, this has helped the raise the culture with clear and defined principles of ‘how we do, and why we do, what we do!’ 

Thank you very much for providing an Employment Contract to suit our requirements.

We found your knowledge and service to be of a high standard and would not hesitate to use or recommend your services in the future.

As a company we find Petaurum HR extremely invaluable and our first point of reference for all HR related issues. Petaurum have streamlined all our documents and processes ensuring we are compliant with all up to date laws! Petaurum help with resolutions of everyday issues and to inform longer term decision making and policy development!

Adam at Petaurum HR has provided us with incredible support since we started working with them at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. We initially needed help with understanding furlough and communicating clear info to staff, and Adam has since gone above and beyond to understand every little detail about our business and staff. He’s always on-hand to answer any query we may have – all in a way that’s clear and easy to understand to those not too experienced in HR. Feel so much more comfortable knowing that Petaurum are there for us when we need them – so we can concentrate on running our business as best we can!

Thank you for making things so understandable and for making our HR side of things feel much more manageable and straight forward

I have always been blown away by work Petaurum delivers for their clients. Whilst they are adept at supporting businesses with HR compliance, where they really come into their own is problem solving around HR challenges.

We have always been impressed whenever we work with clients who also work with Petaurum. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to help an organisation with their business challenges that require HR solutions.
