Retirement Announcement

Retirement Announcement

It is with very mixed feelings that we announce that Chrissy Tait, co-owner and director of Turnstone HR has decided to retire at the end of July this year, when Sarah Goddard will become the sole active director.

We bought Turnstone HR in July 2014 and since then we have worked as partners, colleagues and friends to develop the business into the successful entity that it is today. During that time we have grown our client base by more than 300% and many of those clients have also become friends.

Although Chrissy will no longer be actively involved on a regular basis, she will step-in occasionally to cover for Sarah during holidays or to provide support during specific projects/activities where appropriate.

We are also pleased to announce that, going forward, David Nicholson will be working with Turnstone on a regular basis. David is a full member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and has extensive experience across a range of industries. He has worked with us on an associate basis for some time and shares our Turnstone values and commitment. We can therefore assure you that the level of support and guidance offered will continue as previously.

We thank you all for your support and custom over the past 9 years and look forward to continuing to work with you.
