“Lisa has been a brilliant support for our business. She’s always quick to respond whenever we have a question or an issue, and she’s great at judging how serious or urgent something is – which, when you’re running a business, is absolutely vital.
Before we started working with Lisa, I used to handle our HR myself, dealing directly with employment lawyers. The difference now is night and day. I trust our line managers to go straight to Lisa if they’re unsure about anything, and I know they’ll get sensible, practical advice every time.
Lisa’s also really understanding when we throw something a bit unusual her way, or if it’s not a typical HR query for our business. She’s modest too – if there’s ever something she wants to double-check, she’ll make sure we’re getting spot-on advice from the right people.
I get approached all the time by other HR companies trying to win our business, but I’ve never even been tempted to look elsewhere. With Lisa and Ubuntu HR, we know we’re in safe hands.”
“We moved to Ubuntu HR in 2018 – With Lisa I have absolute faith and confidence in the fact she knows and has made the effort to fully understand our business, our needs and requirements and that she acts fully in our best interests and guides us through the technical jungle that best practice HR and compliance can be.
We are in the best possible hands with the best-in class support and resources, she makes our life easier and more straightforward which in the current state of the world you cannot put a price on. Nothing is too much for Lisa and our working relationship is so enjoyable.
It really is hard to try and put into words how fantastic Lisa is, she is more like our own in-house HR rather than a supplier of services – this just sums it all up for me.”
“I have been working with Lisa for years and I don’t exaggerate when I say it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made.
Her response times are exceptional which is really helpful when you’re faced with stressful and timely HR issues.
She keeps things simple and gives clear guidance and support detailing what needs to be done and when.
Since working with Lisa I’ve felt much more confident and reassured dealing with staffing issues
I couldn’t imagine a life managing people without Lisa by our side.”
“Lisa is our go-to person for all things HR and has been for many years. She truly integrates with your business, is prompt, efficient and truly cares. Knowing her knowledge and expertise is there to support our business has been irreplaceable. I highly recommend Lisa’s services to anyone looking for day to day to strategic HR support.”
“Lisa has been an invaluable support to our business from the very start. As we’ve grown from our first employee to a team of more than 20, she has provided cost-effective, pragmatic, and tailored HR solutions. Her expertise and responsiveness has helped us navigate key employment matters with confidence, making Ubuntu HR a trusted partner in our continued success.”
“We have worked with Lisa for many years and have always found her to be incredibly helpful, supportive, accessible and knowledgeable whenever we have had need of her services. Her calm, pragmatic, and sensible attitude is exactly what is required when dealing with HR escalations and her proactive approach to keeping us updated with the latest legislation has ensured that we have always stayed ahead of the curve in all matters relating to our personnel.
Lisa has taken the time to understand both our business and ethos, and tailors her advice to ensure we maintain a consistent approach with all of our colleagues. We are fortunate to have a lower than average turnover of staff across our businesses and I believe that a large part of that is due to Lisa’s support over the years.
I would be more than happy to recommend Lisa to anyone in need of external HR support.”
“We have known Lisa for several years now. She has always made herself available to us for all our HR needs assisting with a variety of issues that have arisen over the years and she has also assisted on the drafting and implementation of the office handbook and employee contracts. Lisa is very responsive and is always a delight to deal with. I would recommend her to any small firm looking for HR support.”
25+ years later Lisa is still supporting us through the HR laws and also attending awkward employee meetings when required.
Lisa has always updated us with any changes as they happen and provided factual, straight talking, professional advice, keeping Enterprise Q out of any courts 😊
I have no intention of looking for another HR company, unless forced to!”
“We have used Lisa and Ubuntu HR regularly for all manner of services over the years. She is always readily available to discuss any matter and give over her experience and knowledge. We have recommended Lisa to many other businesses who all report the same appreciation for her support and efficient service and would happily recommend Lisa and Ubuntu HR to others.”
“Leaman Mattei Limited, a firm of Chartered Accountants, has had the pleasure of working with Lisa Gower from Ubuntu HR Limited, and we highly recommend her services.
Lisa’s expertise in employment matters, including recruitment, compliance, and workplace best practices, has been invaluable to our firm. Lisa has taken the time to understand our specific needs and provided tailored advice that helped us navigate complex HR and employment challenges with confidence.

“I have referred many clients to Lisa over the years and all have been impressed with the service. Lisa is a very experienced HR consultant but what really stands out is her pragmatic approach. She always thinks : How can I solve this problem, rather than applying a traditional HR approach.”
“Working with Ubuntu HR over the past 13 years has been an absolute asset to our business. From starting out as a small team to now having over 15 employees, your support has been consistent and invaluable throughout.
Your expertise in navigating employment regulations and keeping us compliant has been a huge reassurance. You’ve always been quick to respond and thorough in addressing any concerns we’ve had, which has given us real peace of mind.
The guidance you provided during the challenges of COVID-19 was outstanding. The clarity and support you offered during such an uncertain time made a significant difference for us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ubuntu HR for the exceptional service you provide.”
