What our clients say about us
“I have worked with Lester Aldridge for a number of years and value the manner in which they provide advice - providing succinct and comprehensive advice in a way that is simple and easy to understand.
Swift Advances recently undertook a redundancy exercise, resulting in over 25 redundancies, which was an extremely stressful and anxious time for both the company and the employees.
I am left in no doubt, that without their guidance we would not have managed one of the most difficult issues that the company has been faced with.
We also did not receive one employment tribunal claim which was obviously a significant achievement in itself and is, without doubt, attributed to the support given by Lester Aldridge."
Hazel Messenger, HR Manager, Swift Group
