CBR Business Solutions

The service we receive from CBR Solutions is fantastic, professional, and competitively priced. I know my HR and Payroll are in safe hands and this allows me to focus on the other parts of my job.

I attended a DBS workshop through CBR Solutions. It was really useful, informative and on I have already recommended for others within my organisation to undertake.

I have a good working relationship with Nigel, he helps us out a lot with advice, with sometimes complex issues. He is approachable, always responds quickly and I trust him implicitly.”

“As a smaller business, flexible approach to HR support is important to us. We have the minimum contract hours per year and top up when the need arises. Having worked with big organisations and dedicated account managers previously, we appreciate the hands-on approach we get from CBR. Kate and Nicola are approachable, very clear, practical, and focused on finding solutions for us. They accept that we are a business rooted in creativity and our issues aren’t always the same as other companies. From time to time we need someone to tell us what works for us, and we have benefitted from the excellent service they provide.”“The templates we use feel tailored to our needs rather than generic. When we needed to implement changes, particularly during furlough, Kate and Nicola have really helped navigate our way through this process – we found this support invaluable.”Lieke KesterAgenda 21 Architects Studio

Very informative session. Lots of details and answers to queries.The location was great. Thank you :)

The service we receive from Kate and Nicola is invaluable. I like to ensure we have clear processes, structure and procedures in place and having professional HR support is crucial in maintaining this. All our policies and contract templates have been provided by CBR and the regular updates we receive have been so helpful during lockdown when changes to working environments have been happening rapidly. When working with people, new situations will always arise, and it's been a godsend to have Kate and Nicola as a reliable source of information and guidance. I know I can just pick up the phone or email, to run something by them and reassure me that we are doing it correctly. They have also taken us through new processes step by step. We always receive honest, friendly advice and a swift reply.

Been using them for some years now. Kate is great with excellent understanding of working with charities and why we want to abide by our values when dealing with HR matters.

“It’s like having our own HR department. We get a personal service; they really understand the needs of our business and support us to be a responsible employer, both legally and morally. I can ask any questions and get honest, invaluable advice.”

CBR Business Solutions process all of our DBS for our staff. They have always been efficient, effective, responsive and they save us a lot of time & hassle - and they’re not an expensive resource. Thank you for a great service. Kim Bevan, Chief Officer, The Retreat Clinics.

“CBR Solutions has provided a payroll service to Empanda since our inception in 2016. Together, we have developed an effective process that has stood the test of time and meets the needs of our business. We enjoy an excellent relationship/rapport with Nigel who is always professional and willing to give advice and answer questions – we very much see him as an extension to our team. As part of the service, Nigel has helped us through Auto-Enrolment, making it a seamless process; worked with us to bring two new teams onto the payroll as part of the TUPE process; and helped us streamline our payroll reporting for departmental budgeting purposes. As a community interest company, we believe the service we receive from CBRS not only provides excellent value for money but gives us peace of mind in the knowledge that Empanda and our staff are in safe hands.”
