“Our business had access to Qdos’ services through being a member of the local chamber which gave us access to hundreds of template documents and policies through the web and constant support from the advice line. We always found them to be excellent in their advice. We decided to upgrade to the system product and are so pleased we did. It is well worth the investment in many ways. It means that we have no need to employ a HR person in house as we have our own dedicated consultant whom we can contact whenever necessary. “Qdos reviewed our procedures which flagged up the ‘holes’ and we are now working with our dedicated consultant to implement a course of action. We can rest assured that we are in the hands of experts and should you be undecided as to whether you should upgrade please feel free to contact us for a reference.” - Ray Armstrong, MCS Control Systems Ltd “As a result of our experience I would not hesitate in recommending the human resource consultancy services of Qdos Consulting Limited. I have nothing but praise for their achievements - well deserved kudos for Qdos! Since outsourcing our human resource management to Qdos Consulting we have seen a significant turnaround in the effectiveness of our human resource function. We had tried other outsourcing arrangements for human resources but found that they did not meet our needs. Qdos Consulting offered the widest ranges of services including the widely acclaimed Chamber HR Service. In addition Qdos has provided a senior consultant to work directly with us. We have thus enjoyed the combined benefit of having available all the up-todate professional expertise with the years of senior experience and insight of our consultant and this has helped us to achieve our plan. With the on-going on-site support of Qdos the British Chambers of Commerce have been recognized as an Investor in People.” - Ronan Quigley, Financial Director at the British Chambers of Commerce Qdos Consulting – Your Trusted Advisor For more information telephone 01455 852028
