“The HALO Trust has collaborated with Turning Point over recent years. Their approach and cost-effectiveness stood out, ultimately exceeding our expectations. We received precisely what we asked for and more. Not only did they benchmark our roles, but they also rationalised our pay framework and transitioned into a structure that aligns with our recent organisational redesign. I highly recommend their services for their thoroughness, pragmatism, cost-effectiveness, communication and the quality of their deliverables.”
