“Helen’s approach to business is second to none. I am a sole trader, who recently started a new business. She has spent countless hours coaching me on current laws and how to manage, many of the issues I’ve had with getting up to speed. The guidance methods and experience Helen brings to the table has benefited my business hugely. Because of this, I would highly recommend Starfish People HR. Thank you, Helen."

As a church we have little in house experience of HR law and as there is so much noise online, we sought out Starfish People to make sure that we were doing right by our employees and the church. Louis and Helen were really helpful in plainly explaining employment law and helped us understand the consequences of all possible actions which allowed us to make the best decision in our eyes. We are really grateful for their advice and the way that they were available to support. As such I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've known and worked with Helen Price-Evans for more than 10 years. Since managing my own business consultancy I have engaged with Helen countless times to support my clients with a range of HR services from TUPE and recruitment, to employee handbooks and contracts, to redundancy and settlement agreements. Helen is consistently professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and delivers an excellent, friendly and supportive service. I trust Helen with my clients, which is a huge accolade to her and Starfish People. Starfish People will remain my 'go-to' for all things HR for many years to come.

Helen offers practical , empowering advice to navigate the complexities of today's Employment Legislation . Why bumble along trying to research on Google and not really finding clarity to the issue when you can be swiftly guided by such personable , supportive and expert advice . Marvellous

We're a small business based in Chichester, and found Starfish HR's details online. We asked Helen and her team to assist with a fairly complex HR issue with a former employee. Helen was very down to earth and knowledgeable, and calmly led us through the process of resolving this satisfactorily. We'll be engaging with Starfish to review our HR arrangements going forward, and wouldn't hesitate to use Helen again.

Helen has been a great help, so quick to make contact, help and give me such confidence to deal with a redundancy situation which puts me in a stressful situation. The support and help really helped me mentally and moved the process along at pace which is what I needed and wanted
