What our clients say
"I have worked with Omny for many years and I have found that they never rest on their laurels and constantly strive to work in partnership with us to ensure that their advice reflects our commercial ethos and approach to human resources and risk management.”
“We have engaged Omny on a number of occasions since December 2011 to provide us with legal and HR services covering a variety of issues. On each of these matters, we have found Omny to be detailed and robust in the handling of the matters. They were not risk adverse to support us in taking a calculated approach. The advice that we have received has been detailed and robust and has assisted our managers in handling situations confidently.”
"Chloe is fantastic! She is always there for us, nothing is ever too much trouble and she goes above and beyond all the time. I know she is really busy but she always gets back to us promptly. Because she visits us regularly for the training updates, I feel she really understands the business and also the capabilities of the team. She has become a real trusted help to us all."
“We see Omny as members of our team as we are all on the same side. We have a great working relationship where roles and rules don’t get in the way of getting the job done. They have always been fun and very easy to get on with.”
