“I have worked closely with Gail and Clare for over 4 years, after they took over our HR and then our payroll. What I appreciate most is the personal service they provide, I can always pick up the phone and chat through any issues at any time. If I have a concern I am immediately reassured by their professional and approachable manner. I always feel that our school is their priority and our staff are real people to them, not just a payroll number.
Both Clare and Gail bend over backwards to fit into our schedules and provide a quick, accurate service. I would wholeheartedly recommend their brilliant professional, friendly service.”
Cath Billington – Small School Business Manager, St. Mary’s CE Primary School
“About 18 months ago we approached Gail Escolme Legal with regard to providing payroll services, as they already provided us with HR services. The professionalism and the way they handled the transfer from our existing provider was outstanding. Gail and Clare were there every step of the way guiding us through the process and ensuring a smooth transition.
In the twelve months they have been handling our payroll, the service we have received has been exceptional, something they consider to be the ‘norm’. Gail and Clare are always willing to help with any queries we have, including issues which were outstanding from our previous provider. They have certainly made my life easier in terms of processing payroll which is down to their dedication to getting things right first time.”

I have no hesitation in recommending Gail Escolme Employment Law and am grateful for all Gail’s help and support in my case.”

“Over the years we have built a positive working relationship with Gail, dealing with our own internal employment law issues and also by introducing Gail to our clients to assist them with their issues. We have always found her advice practical and efficient, delivered in a professional but understandable way. I personally have no hesitation in recommending Gail to other businesses”.
Phil Ellwood Managing Director Kendal – Lamont Pridmore
“We have worked very successfully with Gail Escolme over a number of years on personnel issues. We prefer to handle most of this work in house, but where extra external professional advice is thought necessary Gail is always our first stop. This has resulted in a very cost effective approach to personnel management, but with the confidence of an experienced professional behind the scenes. Undoubtedly this has led to a significant improvement in performance across our operating companies and hence profitability and business success”.
