Testimonials
Please see below just a few testimonials that we have received for our work to date:
Dickie Donovan (Group People Director) - William Jackson Food Group
I worked with Nik and his team on a group wide roll out of the iTrent HR / Payroll platform over a number of years. Throughout the project Nik was a knowledgeable, pragmatic and proactive project manager. He was live to the need to demonstrate efficiency and cost savings, and was quick to offer tailored solutions to the differing business needs across a diverse portfolio of group companies. I would recommend Nik to anyone considering a similar project.
David Turton (Account and Co-Owner) - Somersby Consulting
I cannot recommend Nik Tassi-Giles at NTG Consultants Limited enough. He’s taken his business and tripled its turnover in the space of 2 years, provided top quality client specific services for users of iTrent, adding value to the clients business and streamlining systems and processes to ensure cost savings for the future.
Gerry Peyton (HR Director) - ACS International Schools
Nik is very knowledgeable when it comes to Midland Software and he has a good understanding about how HR information systems can help improve the performance of HR and the wider organisation. He also has the ability to fit in well with teams, quickly building rapport.
Samantha Coppin-Derby (HR Manager) - Dovetail Services
Nik Tassi-Giles provided services to Dovetail Services as a Consultant to provide expert advise and support on the iTrent system. Nik has in-depth knowledge of the functionality of the iTrent system and has a pragmatic approach to applying this to the benefit of our organisation. I would recommend Nik if your organisation requires some additional support with iTrent for his excellent system knowledge and implementation experience.
Jabbar Sardar (Director of Human Resource and Organisational Development) - Cafcass
Nik Tassi-Giles worked in Cafcass as an HR MIS Officer, leading on our iTrent implementation. Nik has superb insight and experience of iTrent, its functionality and the benefits this could bring to the wider organisation. Nik worked closely with HR colleagues and managers to implement HR Self Service, Recruitment and H&S modules on iTrent. Overall, I would highly recommend Nik as he has good system implementation experience.
Sheila Samuels (Head of Personnel) - RSPB
Nik joined the RSPB project team when we were struggling with the project for employee self service and manager self service, his insight got us back on track. He proved to be knowledgeable on the iTrent system and build as well as quickly coming to understand how our system had been configured. We adopted his proposal to phase the roll out of the system which has since proved to be exactly the right thing to do. Nik worked well with the team helping to build their skills and built the system to our requirements. I would recommend Nik to support you as part of your implementation team for iTrent.
Andy Carroll (Senior IT Consultant)
I worked with Nik Tassi-Giles on an iTrent re-implementation, adding workflow and self service, at a large social housing organisation. His knowledge and experience of the core HR product and self service module was really valuable, but it was his ability and enthusiasm as a trainer that stood him out from the crowd. If you have a clear understanding of what you want but don't have the in-depth iTrent skills to deliver it, then Nik is your man.
Jane Baker (Principal Human Resources Advisor) - South Lakeland District Council
Nik Tassi-Giles had provided excellent iTrent consultancy to South Lakeland District Council. He has supported us with training, build, process mapping, guidance development and maximising the potential of our iTrent modules. The rolling out of our Self Service and e-Recruitment functionality has been enhanced by Nik's expertise. I would recommend Nik highly.
Paul Suter (Finance Director) - Harwoods Limited
At Harwoods we were struggling with reporting using Business Objects. Midland HR were unable to support us, so we had no option but to look elsewhere. We were very fortunate in finding NTG Consultants and Nik's team, who were able to deal with the reporting issues that we had. They are very experienced in the system and this has been invaluable in getting the project back on track. In addition to the initial task of reporting, they have been able to assist us with completing the set-up of the system including an employee appraisal system and web recruitment. I would certainly highly recommend NTG Consultants Ltd. and Nik's team.

Jane Hutchison (HR Systems and Process Improvement Manager) - Edinburgh Napier University
Nik completed a large scale implementation project for us using a combination of onsite and offsite work. To enable offsite work we were able to give him a staff type Active Directory profile and as such, use our university systems (Virtual Desktop and Any Connect in combination with Remote Desktop) to enable secure access to our iTrent applications.
We also ensured that, as a contractor, Nik signed an oath of confidentiality over and above his contractual arrangements with us regarding access to data. With other contractors in the past we have also taken the steps to develop a function access specifically for a particular project piece. For instance, removing access to payroll where clearly not required to deliver project requirements for recruitment.
By using an offsite methodology in this secure way we were able to minimise cost of consultancy by removing subsistence costs and hence use budget for activity rather than expenses.
