Testimonials




Helen Douglas, Director , 06 Jun 2011

As I had hoped, this decision has proved invaluable and we have rapidly built a very good relationship with the organisation, Susie Wheeler in particular whose response is always fast, reliable and greatly informative.
 
I would recommend the service of William B Rose and Associates to all those who require an approachable, proficient and competent employment law organisation. I have always been thoroughly pleased with the service and I’m sure will continue to be.
  

Veronica Solan, Director , 03 Jun 2011

Since joining them, we have got exactly what they promised they would do  - straight to the point, sound,  practical advice and help with rapid turn around times.

 

They are very fast to respond to my enquiries with sound advice gleaned from years of experience representing employers at employment tribunals.

 

I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

 


Rachel Burbridge, Head of HR , 03 Jun 2011

Whilst our partnership with William B Rose is relatively new, it has been most valuable and I have been able to rely completely on legal based services.  From the initial meetings I had with Bobby Ahmed, the company has conducted itself in a professional and effective manner.  I am able to work with a single point of contact and Susie Wheeler is most responsive, whether I require information and assistance immediately over the telephone or paperwork and correspondence to formalise employment law arrangements.  The production of this paperwork saves me both professional and administrative time.

 

Susie has built a rapid understanding of our business, I have complete confidence in the advice that she gives to me and this is provided in a timely manner.  I have not once been let down.

 

I am looking forward to working with William B Rose on the update and enhancement of our Employee Handbooks and contracts, as well as any ongoing legal employment advice I require.  I can also be reassured that I will receive all of this, at any time of day, within a fixed annual fee arrangement and can therefore budget more effectively for legal services.

 


Janine Banks, Business & HR Facilitator, 31 May 2011

All their staff are polite and professional, and we have developed excellent working relationships with both Bobby and Susie who have dealt with all our HR requirements promptly and effectively.

 

Due to the incredibly high levels of service they have provided, we would happily recommend William B. Rose to any company who needed to outsource their HR function.


Graham Scott, General Manager , 27 May 2011

Our choice of WBR was based on the excellent relationship and advice that ASIG had received from the founding partners in their previous company.

 

The strength of that relationship was, and is, determined by their speed of responsiveness, their ability to grasp the complexities of the disparate functions and roles within our particular industry environment, and to offer firm and expert guidance when required.

 

Our Company has found, in the past, that certain legal support firms have been less than assertive in offering decision-making direction when required; this is never the case with WBR who not only offer simple direction as required, they also work with us to shape a strategic direction for more complicated cases.

 

We have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending the services of William B Rose.

 

 

 

 


Nickie Taylor, Director , 27 May 2011

I have had dealings with other providers in the past with a previous company, and whilst happy with their dealing on personnel issues, they do not compare to William B Rose.

 

We are a nursery with 24 staff on the payroll, so not a huge organisation and generally with very limited staff related issues. My decision to sign up with the company was very simple, my staff have all been here for over 2 years of service.  As part of a nursery network in Wrexham, I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Ahmed, Senior Partner of William B Rose and was very impressed with what he proposed.  He came to our nursery within the week of the first meeting and we signed there and then.

 

No sooner than I had signed up with Bobby, he was handling a disciplinary for us.  The employee fortunately for us resigned and the outcome was very positive for my business.

 

We have recently been dealing with Susie Wheeler, Managing Partner at William B Rose, with regards to a case involving disciplinary meetings with a union representative.  She has guided us through this more complex case, in both verbal and written communication.  She is never too busy to take my call and the longest I have had to wait for a response was 24 hours (when their server was down) as the normal response time with a drafted letter is no more than 1 hour.  This is obviously crucial when needing to respond to an employee.

 

Both Susie and Bobby give me the confidence and reassurance to be able to speak to any employee with the knowledge that they will support me all the way from the beginning of the process to the end.

 

We are also reviewing all our employee handbooks and contracts as part of their service and for our business we will have the knowledge that the information is all up to date with the correct legislations.

 

I cannot praise their services more highly and would highly recommend any organisation in using their services.    

 


Andrew Shelley, Partner, 25 Nov 2010

Just a brief acknowledgement to thank you and your staff for your excellent level of service provided throughout the unfortunate recent events.....I must compliment you on your prompt and efficient service.


I will most certainly recommend your Company to friends and business associates, etc.

Lucy Hill, Director, 06 Sep 2010

Our company has grown rapidly over the past years doubling its staff. We had talked about taking on a company to restructure our employment contracts and deal with employment issues, but as many busy companies we never got around to doing it. We were told about William B Rose by a company who is within the same industry. 

 
We were sceptical at first; worried that we would be ambushed and frightened into why we needed an employment specialist and what could happen if we didn’t!

However, William B Rose were totally different, they advised us of their service and how they operate and were extremely friendly. They understood that we are a family run business and like to look after our employees as many have been with us for a number of years. However, rules change and it is very difficult to be 100% up to date.


Currently William B Rose is dealing with a case on our behalf.  They have requested the basic information on the employee and have kept us up to date with their progress. We have had minimal involvement, which is great for us.


Overall, an excellent service and a great team to work with.


Peter Bettaney, Director:, 09 Jul 2010

We recently had a problematic member of staff and were unsure of how to handle it.  We contacted William B. Rose and without their quick response and efficient way of handling the matter, we still would have been between a rock and a hard place.  I will be recommending you to all my clients.

 


John Schofield, Managing Director:, 20 May 2010

Being an employer is not always straightforward when it comes to employment law.  As a company that wants to do the right thing, we found it difficult knowing what ‘the right thing’ was at times, with so many laws to comply with.  We decided to join William B. Rose as the service they offered seemed to be just what we needed.  Since we have been clients, we have been really impressed with the advice and support that they have given to us.  They made particular efforts to understand our company and how we work, and in doing so, they help us achieve what we need to, without breaking the law and putting the company at risk of claims.

Their advice is prompt and to the point, and we have a dedicated point of contact who understands our needs and helps us achieve them.


Excellent service – I would recommend William B. Rose to any business.




Louise Bastow, Director:, 19 May 2010

William B Rose provides our company with a very professional and personal service. Susie Wheeler, in particular, is always quick to respond if we need advice on employment law and any other sensitive issues relating to business and employees. The service they provide is invaluable, assisting us in tackling employment law issues which many businesses find to be prevalent in times of recession.  The services of William B Rose were recommended to us and I will in turn recommend them to businesses seeking advice in employment law.
