We’re incredibly grateful to Graham Hall for his expert TUPE advice during a complex transition. He was calm, professional, and highly knowledgeable throughout. Having worked with him before, we knew we were in safe hands—and once again, he delivered. Graham made a difficult process clear and manageable, always balancing technical expertise with a people-first approach. Highly recommended!
