Cheryl-Anne Laird
I had the pleasure of meeting Cheryl-Anne a year ago through Forvis Mazars’ recommendation of her. She was warm and supportive from the outset, learning all about our organisation and how we operate so as to give us advice tailored to our needs. Cheryl-Anne routinely goes above and beyond in providing support, breaking down complex problems into manageable solutions that best benefit our organisation.
Gridvision has worked with the team at Forvis Mazars since the formation of our business, and they have been instrumental in our journey so far. We highly recommend Forvis Mazars for any business looking for reliable, expert support in accounting, tax, HR and other areas and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Forvis Mazars as the business grows into the future.
We have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl-Anne for the past 2 years. During this time, we have been involved in numerous complex employee relations issues and have always welcomed her straightforward, no-nonsense approach. Cheryl-Anne provides our business with workable solutions and advice we can trust. Her pragmatic and confident approach and dependable advice, evident through her wealth of knowledge and experience, all ensure our ability to trust her judgement and recommendations. Cheryl-Anne provides us with unwavering support whenever needed, working to almost impossible deadlines with the minimum of fuss and a calm, can-do attitude. She is there for the long haul and we know we can rely on her to work with us on any issue big or small.
I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl-Anne and Eve for over 5 years. Their advice was always pragmatic which is essential in a partnership with a consultancy in my view. They listened to what we needed to achieve as an organisation, challenged our thinking and delivered every time. Of particular note was their support with an Enterprise Agreement negotiation. We had some difficulties with it but knew they were only ever a call away (or beside us in the room if that’s what we needed).
Cheryl-Anne is wonderful- she is attentive and really knows her stuff. She has been a really great support for in our time of need and filling gaps for us in our service. we simply could not have done the last few months without her.
In a previous role I had a very difficult situation managing staff who did not want to be managed, and we engaged Cheryl-Anne to assist us. Cheryl-Anne took what was a complex and volatile situation and systematically worked through the issues with the business to a successful and commercially viable outcome. Cheryl-Anne partnered with us to develop a strategic and operational plan and then worked with us to implement it. When things were difficult she was right there with us, keeping us all focused on the outcomes and not the road blocks. It is refreshing to work with a consultant who not only provides the right advice but is willing to get their hands dirty and work through the hard parts with you.
I have known Cheryl-Anne for 20 years and continue to value her advice and recommendations within the IR and workplace investigation disciplines. She is a logical, analytical thinker who devours information. She is down to earth and practical in her approach and simplifies complex situations to deliver results. Her communication skills, both written and verbal, are exceptional. Cheryl-Anne is well respected in the IR business and I would highly recommend her.
The professionalism of Cheryl-Anne and the Forvis Mazars team have supported our organisation and worked to improve the internal practices of our operations.
