Clive Corner
KM Software Systems Ltd
"Many years ago, we, as a small but growing company, realised we needed to get to grips with H&S; management for the business. After visits to (or from) major players in that market who mostly seemed to want to scare us into paying a significant monthly fee we looked for a local firm that had the right feel. We found Paula Santomauro and Your Company Works. They have looked after us as and when it was needed, been helpful, instructive, and made recommendations appropriate to the size of the business. They are great people to work with and we could not have made a better choice."
