Testimonials

‘Unrivalled experience and knowledge in industrial relations. The team is very well led by Nigel Ward and Luis Izzo and there is good depth in the team itself at all levels. Technically capable but pragmatic - what more could you ask for.’
‘Nigel Ward is a senior statesman in industrial relations, and would have few peers when it comes to strategic industrial advice. Should be the first port of call for any C-level or board advice.'
