Excellent HR consultant - has provided my companies with grounded, risk averse and effective HR policy and services. She's helped us avoid many potential disasters by planning ahead, and when problems arise, helped us overcome potential liabilities and costs. Highly recommended - a real pearl.
Vince Samios, Country Manager and Director at Portanova UK Ltd
I have worked alongside Krystyna as a recruitment partner for Momentum Instore for almost a year now and I have found her a delight to work in conjunction with. She has an amazing work ethic and always gives me detailed and comprehensive details of roles that I am working on for her.
On top of this she is happy to provide additional specifics when needed. Furthermore Krystyna is always happy for me to visit in order for me to assess the culture within the company serving my matching abilities ten fold. On top of her remarkable work ethos, HR knowledge and experience she has an exceptional personality which I believe is a key quality, much needed to be a successful and engaging HR Manger within a large organisation like Momentum Instore.
I would positively recommend Krystyna as a 1st class HR Professional and look forward to working with her for many years to come.
Luke Readman, Internal Talent Acquisition Manager at RBW Consulting
I worked under Krystyna for nearly 2 years at Momentum Instore.
Strategically Krys reshaped the HR team and created partnerships with the business. She was a true mentor and a real hands on problem solver. Her love of all things people related including her passion for NLP & EFT was a huge benefit to me and Momentum. And on a personal note she cured my fear of spiders (well nearly) Krys would be a huge asset to any company.

During my 3 years with the business, Krystyna played an instrumental part in helping me manage the BAU HR needs of the business, delivering pragmatic HR solutions and advice to help get the best from the operation and team.
Krystyna's council was both sought, valued and trusted as an HR specialist, enabling me to ensure that the business operated in a legally compliant way, providing sound guidance for a range of HR issues and considerations.
Further to delivering BAU HR into the business, I worked closely with Krystyna on a number of strategic projects aimed at enriching the culture and developing the talent within the team. Krystyna always impressed me with her top down thinking approach whilst working on these projects; able to clearly see the big picture, the desired outcomes, and work backwards from those to identify the key actions needed.
More than all these however, Krystyna's key strength for me, lays in her ability to make HR work for the business that she's in and it's that ability to apply her wide generalist HR knowledge to fit the business operating model, that truly sets Krystyna apart from all other HR Managers I've worked with over the years.
Luke Cowell, Operations Director
“Krys is a strong HR leader, who is knowledgeable about all areas of employment law and provides clear direction and guidance to her direct reports and business partners.
She is well respected by all levels of management for her personal expertise and the coaching approach that enables her to bring out the best in others.”
Kathy Tomlinson, People Development Evangelist
“Krystyna knows how to help you get the best out of yourself. She has a calm and warm manner, balanced with curiosity and challenge. I always feel at ease when I am with her and I have found our discussions extremely rewarding.
Krystyna helps me to identify what my priorities are and how I can address them, and she’s also a great sounding board. Krystyna has a deep and extensive knowledge of HR & employment legislation and has always provided me sound and realistic advice.
Krystyna has supported me through significant life and career decisions, and I now class her a trusted friend. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
RK, Public Service Provider
“Krystyna is down to earth and I have found her easy to work with through a number of challenging organisational situations including staff transfers, restructures and complex employment cases.
Krystyna achieves commercial outcomes and hasn’t been afraid to do things a bit differently in order to achieve the right business result, showing effective balance between real world HR, employment regulation, and commercial business interests”
Matthew Huddleston, Partner, OTB Eveling
“Krystyna has worked with me over the last six years on a variety of focus areas. Initially she offered HR guidance, often on a day to day level helping me become the best version of myself. She gave advice and shared techniques to allow me to develop myself personally which in turn lead to success in my career.
Following on from this, I really trusted her and felt I could open up a bit more which then lead to her helping me with some more personal issues. She helped me open up and see the root of some of my feelings and challenges and over different types of sessions helped me deal with and work through them rather than just hiding them away.
She helped me understand myself better and find clarity in areas I had struggled with for a long time. Our most recent journey together involved her support initially on a HR guidance situation, however as always, she goes the extra mile and also became a personal support giving me additional perspective on the situation helping me work through it in the best possible way from start to finish.
I would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for support on anything HR related to those looking to work on themselves or others for personal and professional development too.”
