Alpha H R review

Ranked 5 of 7 in HR consultants in Telford

Best for: fixed-price HR backing from lawyers

Active

Trading as MARTIN-KAYE LLP · The Foundry, Euston Way, Telford, Shropshire, TF3 4LY · Service area: Telford

Alpha H R in short

Alpha H R is the HR and employment-support package of Martin-Kaye, a Telford law firm working from the Foundry, delivered by qualified lawyers with day-and-night employment support and compliance updates as legislation changes. Fixed affordable prices with a quote by phone are stated up front. Our verdict: the choice for employers who want a law firm standing behind routine HR.

There is no public customer rating on record, so reviews cannot support any of the assessment here: the assessment rests on the lawyer delivery and the partnership record going back to 2006. The page states no insurance details, VAT position or register entry for the HR package itself. Client references and written confirmation of cover are missing from the page.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Alpha H R suits Telford employers who want HR support with a law firm behind it at stated fixed prices [1]. The lawyer delivery and the LLP record since 2006 stand out [1] [2]. What counts against it is the absence of any public customer rating and gaps on insurance and VAT [1] [3].

Questions about Alpha H R

Is Alpha H R any good?

For employers who want legal backing behind routine HR, yes: the package is delivered by qualified lawyers with day-and-night employment support and compliance updates, backed by a partnership record going back to 2006 [1] [2]. There is no public customer rating to check. Ask for two client references before you commit.

Is Alpha H R on a professional register?

Law-firm delivery by qualified lawyers is stated on the business's own website [1]. HR consultancy itself has no mandatory register, so the check that matters is the law firm behind the package. Look the firm up on the Solicitors Register and confirm the name matches the business you are hiring.

What does Alpha H R charge?

The site promises fixed affordable prices with a quote by phone and publishes no figures, fee scale or VAT position [1]. Expect the quote to reflect headcount and the level of support you need. Ask for the fixed price, the inclusions list and the VAT position together.

Alpha H R works from the Foundry in Telford, serving local employers with phone, email and contact routes [1]. The HR package sits inside a Telford law firm rather than a standalone consultancy. Send your postcode and headcount with the enquiry to confirm cover.
