Rob has an innovative approach to solving HR issues and is always prepared to look at the business need and then works to develop a solution that fits, rather than just taking something off the shelf.

Rilwood Associates
Our organisation has worked with Rob and Willerby Hill for a number of years and have found him to be highly knowledgeable, reliable and diligent in the assignments he has undertaken. I am happy to endorse Rob for his knowledge of personality profiling tools, specifically OPQ32 where he has worked with us to improve the performance of our recruitment consultants as well as using OPQ32 to support recruitment activities for our customers.
The decision to invest in such a non-core activity in our business during difficult economic times was a tough one but was it was well worth as our people were developed in a more specific way to help them to be both more successful at work and also to achieve their own personal goals.

Stand Consultants
We hired Willerby Hill to do some consultancy work in the very early days of Stand Consultants Ltd and also as we began trading with Ascensor Limited. We were able to use Leadership and Management funding for consultancy and interviewed 3 prospects, neither of whom we knew anything about. Willerby Hill stood out a mile, they were personable, relaxed and knowledgable. Our businesses were set on their path of growth thanks to the building blocks that Willerby Hill helped us to put in place. The thought processes and systems that Willerby Hill helped us to design are still very much active today. I would highly recommend Willerby Hill to any business start-up, looking for direction – Rob Coates is an excellent mentor who went out of his way to help us as much as he could, above and beyond the hours that he was contracted for
