WORK HISTORY
Business Owner @Consensus Hr
Throughout my career in HR, I have learnt one valuable lesson & that is the strongest & most profitable businesses are always those businesses that have the stronger team spirit within organisations, which is why my focus is to help clients to build stronger businesses & help them to get the best from their teams.Effective HR management can make a valuable difference financially, legally and operationally to business as many companies do not have the luxury of employing a full time HR or business management professional but at some point all business owners will come across ‘employee & business problems’. We work with small and medium sized businesses across a wide range of specialities.My experience has been within the public and private sectors, ranging from small family owned businesses to large international organisations. I have covered all aspects of the employment life-cycle from recruitment and selection, disciplinaries and grievances, performance management, training and development to being able to help problem solve and assist management in difficult times and actually running businesses at the forefront with overall responsiblity for the bottom line from sales, ordering, merchandising and customer service.I am commercially, operationally and HR aware having managed and worked in a wide range of fast footfall/turnover businesses within Head Offices and with large teams of management and employees for UK & international companies. My career commenced at the coal face of industry but later moved into implementing HR & Development for a wide range of businesses having known what it was like to work at the forefront of business.”Matthew qualifications include- Chartered Membership Of Institute of Personnel & Development (FCIPD)- Advanced Certificate in Employment Law (ACEL)- accredited by leading professional bodies, including the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board- BA (Honours) Degree - Leisure Management
