A BIRSTALL-based human resources specialist has won a contract to provide HR support to clients of one of the UK’s respected accountancy software providers.

Lamont Jones will work closely with IRIS, which provides business software and services to accountants and payroll professionals in the UK.

Lamont Jones will support customers of IRIS with a dedicated HR helpline to ensure they receive a quick response and peace of mind. Involvement from the Lamont Jones team also allows IRIS to focus on its core business.

Lamont Jones has been helping businesses protect themselves collectively for 40 years and manages integrated HR services for a number of companies across the country.

With its consultancy service Lamont Jones are specialists in protecting businesses against situations in the workplace that may otherwise lead to employment tribunals.

IRIS said it chose to work with Lamont Jones rather than a large call centre environment as – despite being a large business – IRIS was striving to deliver a personalised service to its clients.

Heather Jones, managing director at Lamont Jones, said: “I am delighted that Lamont Jones has been chosen to deliver HR to IRIS clients.

“We share the same values towards customer care and quality of service and that delivery has to be practical, not stuffy but professional and knowledgeable.”
