    I can’t recommend Craven HR highly enough. From the very beginning, they’ve been professional, approachable, and incredibly effective in helping us navigate a range of HR matters. We feel so much more confident with HR knowing she’s on our side.

    I have found Craven invaluable for help, advice and guidance. Craven's E-Learning course have much more detail and depth, they have tests throughout to ensure learning and I personally found then very useful in my line of work.

    I loved the first aid refresher course that i did, it was easy to follow and pin pointed a lot of things that i had forgotten. Craven also do our annual health & safety visits, they are friendly and give lots of advice, they also offer a lot of great courses at affordable prices which you can do online, Great people to work with.
