Outstanding HR support. We have used Pennine HR for over two years now, the support and advice we have received has been amazing . The advice we receive is quick, practical and supports us in whatever situation we find ourselves having to deal with. We are able to have support on site for any meetings we may need to have, giving us the re-assurance we are dealing with the situations correctly.
Whenever we need support we know the team are there no matter how silly the question may seem to us, nothing is too small! More recently, with the Coronavirus and heightened HR needs around this, it’s been so valuable to have both the advice and updates they send. All the documentation around furlough etc was provided and tailored for our use.
Knowing Pennine HR are at the end of the phone or email gives me the confidence to deal with our HR issues. A great resource to have for any SME, a big thank you to all the team for their support!

Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice
We are proud to support the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. We were founder members of their 99 Business Club and have pledged our ongoing support. They do an amazing job! Here’s what they do in their own words:
“Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice provides care and support to children with life shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire and North Manchester. We are here for families from as early as pregnancy onwards. Whether that is through offering respite, hydrotherapy, music therapy, counselling or bereavement support, we are here to say “yes” to children and their families.
When we say ‘yes’ to a family, we begin our care not just for the child, but for the whole family. We’re led by a highly specialist team of nurses & therapists who deliver our fantastic services, and they do it so well that the CQC rates our children’s hospice as ‘outstanding’. Our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, is the heart of all our services and is designed to be a real home from home for our families. However, virtually all of our services are also available through ‘Hospice at Home’ including clinical care for the children, counselling and even help with household chores.”

Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust
The Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust supports young people with cancer through targeted research and support projects to help alleviate their feelings on loneliness and isolation and find treatments specific to their age group.
Their support goes to 13-24 year olds fighting cancer because it affects sufferers in those developing years differently to more mature adults AND young people in that age group are typically treated on children’s cancer wards. Based in Huddersfield, the LYCT provides support in 43 hospitals nationwide.
One of the things we do to support them is to organise and fund the prize pools for the Forecast40 challenges. They were started in the summer of 2019 to commemorate what would have been Laura’s 40th birthday and we now run two challenges per year – participants are challenged to predict the outcomes of 40 political, cultural, sporting and weather related events.
To hear Laura’s story and find out more about the LYCT check out their website www.lauracranetrust.org call 01484 510013 or email [email protected]

Daniel Barnett is one of the foremost employment law barristers in the country and membership of his group gives us improved access to news and information on the shifting sands of employment related legislation and case law.
This helps us provide clients with clear, concise and current guidance on their own people management challenges.
Recently moved to Pennine HR. So pleased we did particularly with the extra complications of Covid 19. Steve and his team have been very responsive and I appreciate their commercial approach to HR. I’ve experienced other suppliers that give you 100 reasons why you can’t do something but no practical solutions. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
