What People Say

I have had the privilege of working with Tash twice, first as a member of my team and later as an independent contractor, and I would bring her back in a heartbeat in either capacity. Tash is, quite simply, one of the best HR practitioners I've worked with. She combines sharp judgment with genuine warmth, and she brings both to the hardest parts of the job. Tash quickly gains trust because her advice is always sound and pragmatic. As a contractor, she lands quickly, reads the organisation, and delivers from week one without needing hand holding — low maintenance and high impact.

General Manager, People & Advisory — managed Tash directly

I've absolutely loved working with Tash over the past year at Environment Canterbury. She joined us to provide HR support across a wide range of work, and it didn't take long for leaders and teams across the organisation to see just how good she is. Tash has that rare ability to combine great HR knowledge with genuine kindness. She's calm, wise and incredibly values led. People trust her because she listens, gives honest, practical advice and always acts with integrity. She doesn't just fix problems, she empowers people to work through them with confidence. I'd recommend Tash in a heartbeat.

Jo Domigan

People & Capability Director, Environment Canterbury

I have had the experience of having Tash help my group and myself, resulting in a positive experience for all involved. We were able to push forward to achieve our outcomes through what seemed like banging into concrete barriers and walking through mud. This whole thing was done with a smile, a laugh and a personal touch from someone who genuinely cares. If you're looking for someone who sees your challenges and problems head-on and isn't afraid to tackle them, breaking them down into manageable pieces and delivering results — Tash is the person you're looking for.

Iain Campion

CTO, Environment Canterbury — Tash's client

I had the pleasure of leading Tash during a period where we had a national focus on some really complex and challenging ER needs. Stepping into the role, Tash took every opportunity that was presented. She listened, supported and encouraged our leaders to make some really sound decisions while also ensuring the needs of employees were considered and respected. In a traditionally tough environment, Tash was able to foster and grow great relationships with a number of key stakeholders, and the results she achieved were a testament to her ability. I would rehire Tash in a heartbeat.

Tash has a great, approachable and supportive manner facilitating her executing her role as HR Business Partner. She quickly establishes relationships with the team and builds trust and confidence in her partners, enabling them to perform at their best. Tash also provides great technical support for managers, assisting and guiding them through all HR requirements.

Tash was an extremely supportive HR Business Partner with very sound practical knowledge. Tash was always prompt with her advice, which showed her ability to work on numerous projects at one time. It was a pleasure to work alongside Tash.
