“I worked with Wendy for 8 years whilst she was an employee relations consultant and then whilst she took her leap of faith to set up WDL Consulting Ltd. Her knowledge of HR issues in schools in particular is impressive - her years of experience of working in this sector have really paid off. Wendy's approach is to give recommendations as resolution, balancing that against a risk approach so that the decision maker has a full understanding of the various options in order to come to an informed decision. She is highly professional, conscientious and reliable and it is always a pleasure to work with her.”

“Having worked with Wendy for the past 8 years, the excellent service that she provided was second to none; she thoroughly supported Strive4 Academy Trust and each school within it. With such attention to detail, she helped us to provide professional services and advice to our employees and grow our systems in our schools. We knew that the support and advice we would receive would be thorough, current and always delivered with the highest professionalism and sensitivity.  Wendy is extremely knowledgeable and a tremendous resource and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

~ Amanda Jennings - Executive Headteacher & Strive4 Chief Executive ~

“Wendy of WDL Consulting has proved to be one of the most adaptable consultants and colleagues I have worked with, accepting roving briefs that demonstrated direct and indirect outside the box thinking, providing effective and efficient work and viable administrative and technical solutions. Wendy demonstrates a good command of needs assessment and production of technical and multimedia briefs. I commend Wendy’s initiative, technical skills, project delivery and diligence to those assignments undertaken for us. 

I have found WDL Consulting to be consistent in their charging structure throughout.”

I have had the pleasure of being supported in my role as a head teacher by Wendy for many years. She has everything that I could ask for in an employment consultant: she is knowledgeable, up-to-date (increasingly important), pragmatic and empathetic - she can also see the funny side of situations when appropriate to do so.

I am now in my twenty-fifth year of headship and she is easily the best  employment consultant with whom I have worked - and I have worked with many! Her greatest strengths are arguably her attention to detail and her willingness to make herself available at short notice - the latter is particularly important to me in my role, where pressing issues can land on my desk without warning.

I recommend her without reservation of any kind.
