Bio
Anna Edgar
Gillian and I have worked twice together. Once as colleagues at University of Edinburgh but second time around I was the client at Wood Mackenzie. The project was 3 month fast track acquisition integration of Roskill and restructure for our Metals and Mining Division ~100 staff. Gillian was a pleasure to work with and quickly built trust and credibility. The main focus was redundancy consultations, benefits harmonisation and TUPE. The project was delivered to high standard, on time, mitigating risk. But crucially as well as being knowledgeable and competent HR professional she was fun to work with and felt a full member of our team to meet our goals. I would love to work with her again.

I've had the pleasure of managing Gillian for the last year whilst she's worked in our Aberdeen office on a temporary contract whilst the Company works through a major HR change project. It's been great working with her! She is professional, capable, well respected and able to build relationships quickly with the business. She has been able to work well in a stand alone role whilst still connecting with the team in other parts of the UK and has delivered a quality HR service involving a heavy workload. Her previous experience in a consultancy role has provided us with a fresh perspective on many employee relations situations. I can highly recommend Gillian for any senior HR generalist/employee relations role.
