I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for helping me out with those chair renter contracts for CutHouse. Your work was top-notch, as always, and it's great to be back working with you.
The attention you paid to the details and your understanding of my business needs was fantastic. Your expertise really made the whole process super easy and I appreciate you taking the time to answer all my questions.
I'm confident the contracts you put together will help CutHouse hit the ground running, and I'm looking forward to working with you for years to come.
Oh, and by the way, I always enjoy getting your newsletters, so I'm excited to see what you've got in store for us next! Thanks again for everything.

Hi David,
Just a quick email to say thank you for that letter for our new girl.
They paid her exactly what she was entitled too and apologised to her for the confusion.
You are truly amazing

Thank you for your help David. Out of all the weird and wonderful things we shell out money for I’m pretty sure yours is the best couple of hundred quid we’ve ever spent.

Hey Guys, wanted to share something with the group about one of the Guru's. David Wright helped one of our new girls recently who left her employer who refused to pay her last salary due to a training course that she hadn't even been on yet (booked for September) and illegally taking off additional holidays. He also wanted additional funds and threatened to go around her parents house to collect. David helped me pen a letter to her previous employer stating HR law and within a couple of days they paid her every penny she was owed.. This is one of many occasions that David has come up trumps, always there to advise and will turn around any HR query within 24 hours max... Thanks David and thanks Salon Guru Pros for putting me in touch :)

I have complete peace of mind knowing that if I need David's services that all I have to do is fire him a quick email and he will get back to me in no time at all. He will not bombard me with legal jargon but explains everything in layman's terms. I have no need to worry for any future problems that may arise.
Kind Regards

Kristina, Curiously Wicked Chocolate Rooms, Morpeth
There have been a number of occasions when having David at the end of the phone, has been an absolute Godsend to our business. The ins and outs of PR and employment law are a minefield to say in the least, and having sound advice and guidance is absolutely imperative. From contracts to situations that have arisen with difficult employees, David has been invaluable in the support he has given us. At the outset, he told us that he was on hand 24/7 and indeed he is. I cannot recommend David and the services he offers highly enough and as far as value for money goes, he is worth much more than he actually charges!
Kind Regards
Kristina
Michaela, Divine Beauty Studio
Can I take this opportunity to say that you have saved my bacon on more than one occasion in the past and for that, I am extremely grateful.
Your subscription has been worth every penny.
Thanks again for all your help and support over the last few years.
All the best for Xmas and the New Year,
Michaela
Dino Caruana, Operations and Marketing Manager
- Millgate Computer Systems Ltd - Sheffield - www.millgate.co.uk
Millgate has grown quickly over the last 3 years with staff levels increasing as well as the expansion of our office space.
David was recommended to us and has since dealt with various ongoing issues within the Company, I believe, as a result, that employees and managers have become more confident in our HR process enabling us to plan ahead to avoid any employment issues rather than reacting to them.
David has also provided us with assistance on an updated Employee Handbook and relevant Contract of Employment.
Overall David is very approachable and is quick to understand the business requirements. It is for these reasons that I would be more than confident in recommending him for any HR Services.
Buzby and Blue Hairdressing - Chichester West Sussex - www.buzbyandblue.com
Excellent advice given every time!
David will respond quickly and always spares time to chat over any employment scenario.
We would 100% recommend David to any business that needs help with any employment issues.
Mike Breeze, MD of PLG(Yorkshire) LTD - plgyorkshire.co.uk
David Wright has worked on our behalf for 5 years now. In that time we have had several personnel issues, and we know, with confidence, that all we have to do is pick up the phone for friendly and accurate advice. Thank you David.
Dear David,
Thank you for your latest update, very interesting as ever! I never cease to be amazed how vulnerable employers can be. One thing is for certain; never think you have got it cracked.
Our Salon has gone from strength to strength in the last six months. Your timely advice last October really did save us from going under. The staffing levels have been reduced from 9 down to just 5, comprising 3 Stylist and 2 juniors. Now we make a survivable profit!

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know about a contact I made who has been really helpful to me and my business
David Wright is a specialist consultant in all aspects of employment and employee law, he has a massive amount of knowledge and experience, is the main employment law consultant for Habia and also writes regularly in the Trade Press.
We've been working with him for about a year now and he has completely transformed and streamlined all our policies, rule book and staff contracts, as well as helping us out with a very delicate dismissal matter that would have really blown up if not for his guidance.
He is able to offer full telephone and email support as well as completely design, or redesign, all your policies/contracts etc for a very reasonable annual fee, plus he's right there when you just want to ask some advice or get some help on an employment matter.
It's been a huge help for us and I just wanted to let you all know in case it could be helpful to you too.
Drop him a message if you've any queries, he's a sound bloke and comes highly recommended.
Cheers all
Chris

Good luck with the new venture.

Helen Owen - Chief Exec of Doncaster Alcohol Services
I have been a client of David for a number of years now, and find this service really meets my needs. I look forward to the monthly newsletter, with updates on personnel issues, but the most important element of the service is the advice he offers on all aspects of the personnel function. David understands the culture of the voluntary sector, and his personnel advice reflects this. He responds quickly to a wide range of queries - and I have presented him wtih all sorts of problems over the years - and his advice is reassuring and down to earth.
I am not a personnel specialist, so it is a great support for me to have this service to back me up in my work.
Cheers
Helen Owen

Running a business is always stressful, staying ahead of the minefield of employment law is frankly impossible. Having an expert on tap is a massive bonus. David's advice has proved to be invaluable and importantly he is always able to give excellent and timely information which is explained in a practical and user friendly way. We have used David's services for over 5 years now and would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. If you have staff, you need this service!!

Robert Campbell - GP Practice Manager, Leeds Primary Care Trust
Access to up to date 'personnel advice' is essential for a busy GP practice manager who can be faced with all told problems at any time. Key issues for small employers are family friendly hours, maternity leave and disciplinary issues. David has helped with questions about 'moonlighting and constructive dismissal' in recent times and I have found his advice invaluable.

He gives brilliant sound advice, with constant updates, in a minefield of employment law and leads you through any situation calmly and consistently whilst still staying totally focused on the real world! I have and would recommend him to anyone serious about employing staff efficiently.

Laura - The Thyme Treatment Rooms - www.thethymetreatmentrooms.co.uk
I can recommend a fabulous HR consultant that can sort a lot of this for you. Last year I set up a new spa/salon and he did all my policies and contracts for me, he will also guide you through all the queries you may have and ensure you meet with all the legislative minefield requirements. You sign up for his services yearly and this includes monthly newsletters and access to him for advice. He's very reasonable too.
Laura
Joanna - Mayflower Beauty Clinic
I am exceedingly grateful for all David's assistance in this horrid stressful episode, I could have got myself in all sorts of nightmare knots without David's help. It was an extremely unpleasant situation to have been put through, but my whole team were brilliant and supportive too, it has made us stronger and we are doing 6 monthly appraisals now instead of yearly to hopefully prevent anything like this happening again.
