Bio
Rob Taylor
Colleen from Mint HR has been an invaluable HR support to my business. Her professionalism, HR knowledge and quality of work gives me the confidence in knowing that matters for my team are well taken care of. Colleen has also partnered with me on projects for my clients which were very time-sensitive, she handled the HR side expertly with very positive feedback from my clients. I have no hesitation in recommending Colleen to anyone that needs a true HR partner that is practical, professional and takes care of business.

Colleen Lomas is a seasoned Human Resources professional with whom I have had the pleasure of working. Colleen joined my boutique HR consulting business as an Associate in 2018. Having worked on my own for many years and having had a bad experience previously with another associate, I was nervous about venturing down this path again. Colleen, however, demonstrates a high level of professionalism and ethics and our relationship has been one of open communication, exploration and mutual support. I can recommend her knowledge and practical application of all aspects of the Human Resources discipline. She is someone who brings you with her on the journey of understanding and can think strategically for any organisation. She is a skilled communicator, instilling confidence in her abilities and what she has to say very quickly. As a sole operator, I have really appreciated Colleen’s ability to step into situations quickly and provide sound advice to my clients when I was travelling and unavailable. She has been willing to undertake any tasks that I have delegated to her, providing top level support to my business.
