Bio
Thomas Fox
Deborah has worked with me as a Resource Manager since April 2011. Her responsibilities included liaising between Lloyds Banking Group, Hyphen, my umbrella company and me for all HR related queries. Deborah was someone I could count on. When she said she would deliver, I could rely on it. She was able to make sense of detailed HR process and provide clarity and clear direction. This allowed me to focus on providing value to the client. She was open and honest through a time of transition and helped to seek out the persons required to provide results. Deborah would be a valuable asset to any team requiring leadership with a personal touch.
