The people we support, supporting us

  • Working with Limelite HR was a genuine pleasure. Lisa’s enthusiasm for people and development showed in every interaction we had and she really took all of our needs, challenges and outcomes on board and created a fun, engaging and thought-provoking day for the team. Would highly recommend Lisa and the team at Limelite HR.

  • I found session one of the training incredibly insightful. Getting a better understanding into individual workstyles – including the benefits and potential areas for conflict – was invaluable and has already changed the way I am approaching projects and conversations with team members. Jan and Helen were so welcoming and approachable, asking questions that enabled us to open up in a safe environment while also keeping the content educational and fun. Looking forward to the next session.

  • As a small business where the company Director is the only employee, taking on our first hire is quite a daunting prospect. The offer of HR Professional Consultancy Support via the local authority has been fundamental in making this process so much easier. The business (up until now) has not needed any HR help however the offering from WCC came just at the right time. I can now proceed with the interview process knowing that all of the regulatory documents I need are in place, we have a solid contract offer and handbook and without this it would have come at considerable cost to what is a small local business which has only grown due to high standards serving predominantly the county. The help from Lisa and her incredible team now means we can face 2026 with confidence and employ. Thanks everyone!
