Working with us … Sophie quickly and easily grasped what was needed … and has made a significant impact on our working practices and procedures, ensuring our compliance requirements for our regulatory bodies.

Andrea Smith, Partner - Franklins Solicitors (LLP)

The Efficiency Audit we received from Phronesis Operations, has been paramount in helping our organisation grow and progress. Sophie was able to effectively highlight key areas for improvement, but also reinforce the parts that were functioning well. Immediately, we were able to save money, implement greater company structure, bring our policies and procedures up to date, and generally operate at a more effective and professional level. 
Sophie was on hand for any questions and provided invaluable additional support, guidance and information. Since working together in this initial format, we have requested Sophie's services on a regular basis. 

Marc Barnacle, Director - Together in Musical Expression (Charity)

Sophie is a friendly voice on the end of the phone and a safe pair of hands whether you know what you need or feel completely lost in the dark.

A charity leader

Sophie has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, impeccable timekeeping, and an impressive efficiency in completing tasks whilst providing her administration services to my business. Sophie ensures all processes are handled with utmost precision and care.

In the field of HR, confidentiality is essential, Sophie is adept at managing sensitive information and maintains a strict adherence to confidentiality, which has been invaluable. I strongly endorse her services. Sophie is a reliable, efficient, and highly professional associate who would be a tremendous asset to any business seeking high quality administration and HR support.

Jude Read - Outsourced HR Consultant

Sophie has been fantastic at providing operations support for Gloucester Community Building Collective. She has worked on a range of different projects and has enabled us to progress on Finance, HR, IT, and Governance issues as well as supporting me with admin and minute taking in board meetings etc. I have really loved working with her and can't recommend her highly enough.

Miranda Eeles - Executive Director, Gloucester Community Building Collective

Sophie is brilliant at what she does and I love working with her.

We were effectively a start up when Sophie joined our team as Finance Manager, and she has come in and set up all our finance systems as well as all related policies. Sophie will go above and beyond to research the options and to recommend the best course of action for the business. Her no nonsense and efficient approach is just what you need when you're looking for support to help grow and stabilise your business, and you've got too many plates to spin.

I recommend her wholeheartedly and find it amazing what she achieves in such a short space of time. A hugely safe pair of hands and a pleasure to work with.

Mair George - Creative Director, Villages in Action

Working with Sophie at Phronesis Operations is an absolute pleasure. She is extremely knowledgeable in HR Support and Financial Administration, especially in the charity sector. Working with us as an Associate, Sophie quickly and easily grasped what was needed by the client she was assigned to and has made a significant impact on their working practices and procedures.

Sophie’s skills and experience set her apart as an Associate and I feel very fortunate to have found her I know that the client she is assigned to feels the same. I look forward to a continued working relationship with Sophie and have no hesitation in highly recommending her.

Sam Johnstone, Director – Secretarial and Administration Management Ltd

As a line manager for a medium sized team, I spent a lot of my time completing paper work for my team; signing off annual leave, completing forms for sick leave and making sure we have records for everything that was necessary for each staff member.

Sophie identified the need for a more efficient system and, since introducing Breathe HR to our organisation, it has changed my working week considerably. It has given me so much time back due to the easy to access system and knowing everything is in one place. It's also given me peace of mind knowing that staff members are completing the most up to date forms, which is also a lot clearer for the staff member, as well as speeding up the process for staff members to complete with the one button submit option which notifies me straight away. I am hugely grateful to Sophie for introducing this to our organisation.

Katie Purcell - Centre of Advanced Training Manager, Swindon Dance

I hold two high-level jobs, in different sectors, requiring strict time management and organisation as well as travel. Combined with a busy family life this means I have a complicated diary to manage.

Sophie is incredibly organised and efficient, supporting me to arrange meetings, plan and book travel & accommodation (in one instance finding last-minute accommodation on the day of a packed conference in Liverpool, opposite the conference centre) and ensure that I can stay on top of all my commitments both at work and at home. She has also supported some project implementation and liaises well with my staff.

Sophie goes above and beyond and I can't imagine my working life without her now.

Peter Milmer - GP & Product Specialist

I have been fortunate to work with Sophie over several years in my capacity as a team and leadership coach. Sophie has supported me in this role, whilst single-handedly leading the scheduling, venue booking and the all important client liaison. She has been unrelenting in her efficiency of this role, deploying her somewhat extraordinary ability of being able to keep a parallel focus on an event's administrative minutia along with the aims and objectives of the actual event. To this end - she has also developed as a very capable facilitator, and therefore offers a rare hybrid of skillset to any event organiser. I will not hesitate in seeking her help and advice for future events and activities, and I recommend her services to any organiser setting out on a challenging in-house, or off-site training evolution.
