With over 900 member firms PIBA is the largest Broker organisation in Ireland 

I had the pleasure of working with Kala when they carried out some HR services for PIBA. We found the team extremely knowledgeable and their advice and work when auditing our HR procedures and the manual was invaluable. Kala’s approach to HR is very practical and any company would benefit from their services. Kala still carries out work for PIBA on an on-going basis.

When Kala worked with us at Massey Bros. they displayed a wealth of knowledge in all areas of our business. They helped immensely during a crucial transitional phase in our company’s growth. They engaged with both staff and customers in a very professional and helpful manner and I would be pleased to recommend them as a valuable addition to any company’s staff.

Gillian has provided HR services to the ITC Group of Companies for several years both as an employee and as an independent consultant. She has an excellent technical knowledge, is an invaluable source of sound advice and interacts well with both management and staff. People are the most important asset in our business and I believe the services she provides to us will be of benefit to many other SMEs. I have no hesitation in recommending her for this purpose.

Gillian has lectured on our outreach HRM courses and currently lectures HR to our BBS first and third years. She communicate and bonds very well with her students and prepares her coursework diligently. Feedback from students has been very positive and I would have no hesitation in asking Gillian to continue teaching further HR courses for the Institute.

Gillian worked with the ITC Group for many years initially as a Group HR Consultant in our own HR Consultancy business to SMEs the HR Department Ltd and in recent years as our in-house HR Consultant. She has been well regarded as someone who knows her subject and who has been a valuable resource to us both as we grew the business rapidly recruiting and developing appropriate HR Policies and in recent times carefully guiding us through the challenges of downsizing some parts of our business. Gillian remains an out-sourced HR Consultant to ITC Group because of her expertise and attentive service.

Dave Gribben MSc, Owner, Enable Consulting Limited & previous Group MD ITC Group

The HR Department has utilised Gillian’s services on a number of occasions and found her to be excellent in all aspects. Gillian provided expert advice and training to a number of our consultants in the HR area and we received very good feedback in terms of the materials prepared by Gillian, the presentation of the training and the level of expertise that Gillian has in the whole area. We would be happy to recommend her for any similar role and will be using Gillian again when the need arises.
