"Dermot has been my HR officer for the last five years. Dermot is always on hand for any problems that arise staff wise. In fact, only two weeks after I engaged with Dermot, he saved me about €2000 with a difficult staff member. I would highly recommend Dermot to any business on both HR and promotional matters. "
Ken Kinneen
G&L Centra Galway
"Dermot Duignan has handled all my human resources obligations for the last 10 years and I have found Dermot to be extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of staff issues and workplace law. Dermot has always been invaluable in giving me the correct advice and taking the emotive element out of any disciplinary issues with staff over the years and as a result I have always avoided more serious labor problems which has created a good work ethic in my business. I can also say that Dermot has been a great person to ask advice in other business problems that I have faced over the years particularly during the last recession when business was very difficult. Finally, I would highly recommend Dermot to any business looking for professional and one on one personal service."
