What Our Happy Clients
Say About Us

Adam Lockyer

Managing Director, Site-Equip Ltd

“Jade was the driving force behind our Employee Lifecycle project, Omnis, leading its conception, design, rollout, and successful embedding across the business. She worked seamlessly with senior leadership, gaining genuine buy-in and effectively managing a wide range of stakeholders. The result was a complete transformation in how we attract, develop, and retain our people. Omnis enhanced every stage of the colleague journey from onboarding and career progression to reviews and exits. They had a lasting, positive impact on how valued our colleagues felt. Thanks to Jade's leadership, over 1,800 colleagues experienced a more connected, consistent, and engaging employee experience. The CIPD recognised the project for its innovation and success.”

James Dennison

She always takes the time to truly understand both the business and individual perspectives, ensuring decisions are always thoughtful and aligned with the bigger picture. Her approachable and calm demeanour helps her build trust quickly, making her someone people naturally turn to for guidance. Jade is a standout HR professional — insightful, approachable, and a genuinely great person to have on the team.”

Mark Olson

Trustee, St Mary in the Marsh Project Fund

“We have been supported by Petula People Solutions (PPS), a leading HR consultancy based in Kent, whose specialist policy writing services have been instrumental in developing our St Mary in the Marsh Community Hub prospectus. This is a vital initiative for our village and surrounding areas across Kent. As a core part of their comprehensive HR offering, PPS brings expertise tailored to organisations operating in Kent. They ensured full legal compliance across all documentation, while delivering detailed content perfectly structured for our local committee meetings, Kent county and district council presentations, and major donors supporting community projects in the region. ”
