UP Team Testimonials

Laura Stephen

"There is a an open door policy and supportive environment from the Directors and the rest of team. I always feel I am listened to and any actions raised are addressed.  You are never turned away or made to feel like you are wasting the Directors time. There is a lot of encouragement for employees to work to their strengths, understand their weaknesses and without pressure being imposed on anyone. Positive feedback is regularly passed around team when received, which is great for moral. It is a happy place to work - everyone works hard and 'pulls together' at exceptionally busy periods.  There is a great social element too ! Staff are also recognised financially for work carried out through the profit sharing bonus scheme."

"UP has been a fantastic place to work.  On a work basis they gave me the opportunity to diversify from my own area of experience, including providing Outplacement Support to individuals being made redundant, a chance to continually learn i.e. Certificate in Personnel Practice and Insights Discovery Accreditation.  As an organisation the team and directors have an innovative approach to business which stops us, and our clients, from getting 'stale'.  On a social level we all get on well and support each other on both a work and personal level i.ee helped to plan workload and structure department to facilitate my desire to work part time.

Karen Reid

"Because we use Belbin Team and Work Roles extensively in the Urquhart Partnership it helps make it a great place to work.  I spend my day doing work I like to do and can do well, basically I am a round peg in a round hole.  If I could bottle and sell what the Urquhart Partnership does well in relation to managing and developing our people it would make my job as Business Development Manager even easier!"

Carol Nicholson

"It really is very rewarding working with so many incredibly talented and clever individuals, and I have learned so much from them.  I have found that people are always very generous with their time and will always share their knowledge and experience willingly when they are able to help and support.  I always know that I can rely on receiving help; I only have to ask!  Best of all, the team are a really fun bunch of people to be around; the kind of people you want to go for a pint with at the end of the working week!"

Campbell Urquhart

"This is by far the best job I have ever had, the best company I have ever worked for, the best team I have ever worked with, the most fun I have ever had at work, the biggest challenge and the most varied job I have ever had.  And the best part is it gets better every year......."
