Mathew Atkinson
- CEO, The Priestley Academy Trust
“The wide range of support, from attendance management, recruitment to more complex staffing needs is handled with sensitivity and speed. The consistent and knowledgeable relationship manager enables us to develop and share an understanding of the school’s needs, whilst knowing we are compliant with statutory and legal duties… This has supported the wellbeing of our leaders. WE have no hesitation in recommending FusionHR.”
Jayne Kennedy
- Executive Headteacher, National Leader of Education, LINK Learning Trust
“Having conducted our own financial cost and risk benefit analysis, Fusion is real value for money! I have never come across another provider with such a great product. It’s nice to work with someone who has been in the business for so long, and who gives such sensible, practical, advice. I would recommend FEPS without hesitation. Working with Fusion is like night and day compared to our previous supplier, who felt like an albatross dragging us backwards.”
Adrian Whiteley
- Headteacher, The Mosslands School, Wirral
“As a headteacher, I have had the privilege of working with FusionHR services on a regular basis, each time they have surpassed my expectations. The consultants are able to navigate complex issues with professionalism and efficiency. They are always on hand to share their expert knowledge and advice, the support that Fusion provide is invaluable.”
