Testimonials
Our clients represent a wide range of industries and business types, but one thing they all have in common is a desire to be a best in class employer with a highly motivated and engaged workforce. We’re proud to have helped these businesses, and many more, to achieve this goal.
Sonia Friedman Productions has had the pleasure of working with Emma Hodgkinson and Perfect Vision HR on many of our shows. Their expertise in the intricacies of the performing arts industry has been a game-changer for us and their knowledge and expert guidance and support in conflict resolution and employee relations has proved invaluable, enabling us to focus on creating and running theatre productions. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any production company. Emma adds a great amount of value to the business and I really enjoy working with her.
Pam Skinner – Executive Producer – Sonia Friedman Productions
Emma has become part of the team and we rely heavily on her advice for all HR related policies, processes and issues. She is always highly professional, reliable and trustworthy, and I don’t know what I would have done without her support over the last few years.
Short Street Productions has worked with Emma Hodgkinson at Perfect Vision HR for a number of years and have found the service invaluable to the increasingly difficult sector of HR within the theatre industry. From offering simple advice through to conducting full scale investigations on sometimes complicated and stressful issues, Emma always works in a concise, compassionate and efficient manner. She has a detailed understanding of the Union Agreements and an in-depth knowledge of industry terminology, which contributes to a useful short-hand in communication. Using Perfect Vision HR as an external resource provides an independent, confidential and nonbiased service, all of which gives confidence and support to all those involved in any HR issues.
Dave McNeilly, Head of Production Short Street Productions Ltd
We have instructed Emma to conduct investigations on behalf of a number of high profile clients, often relating to sensitive matters. Emma is always a pleasure to work with and handles the investigation meetings professionally and thoroughly while maintaining a compassionate manner and puts those involved at ease. She has a brilliant “can do” approach and I have no hesitation in introducing her to clients and recommending her services.

Perfect Vision HR has really been the perfect HR partnership for Scout. Working with Emma feels like we have an internal HR department always on hand, which was exactly the service I was looking for. Emma is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I have very much enjoyed working with her over the last 2 years. She is always very quick to respond to all requests, and we have complete confidence that we are working to the latest standards and regulations. I would highly recommend Perfect Vision HR if you are looking for an outsourced HR solution.
Lucy Walker, Scout Data
We have had the pleasure of working with Emma for several years in her capacity as an HR consultant. Throughout this time, her guidance, professionalism and kindness have been immensely valuable to our organisation – and its growing team.
Emma consistently brings a thoughtful and strategic approach to every HR matter, whether it involves policy development, conflict resolution, recruitment, or staff engagement. Her ability to understand complex situations and provide clear, practical solutions has not only been a great help for our managers, it has also made a significant positive impact on our operations and workplace culture.
Beyond her expertise, what sets Emma apart is her genuine care and empathy. She approaches each interaction with respect and integrity, creating a supportive and inclusive environment that our team deeply appreciates.
We are grateful for her continued partnership and would not hesitate to recommend her to any organisation seeking experienced and reliable HR support.

We engaged Emma last year to help us consolidate our organisational structure and design a fit-for-purpose and sustainable HR framework. Emma continually exceeds expectations and never fails to impress me with her pragmatic approach, always tailored to our specific needs. Emma really listens and takes time to understand the nuances of our business, core team and wider staff and applies that knowledge in her recommendations and solutions. Emma adds a great amount of value to the business and I really enjoy working with her.
Sarah Crystal – Head of Legal and Business Affairs
Pathways engaged Emma from Perfect Vision HR for support and guidance through a complex restructuring project. Emma quickly understood our situation and unique needs. Emma tailored a programme to take us through a fair and robust process including planning, decision making, communication and implementation. Emma is able to balance commercial and legal needs with a sensitive and supporting style which was invaluable in our communication strategy to staff and in achieving the right outcome for the charity. Emma is a pragmatic and conscientious partner, was able to act as sounding board to our thinking and challenged us throughout to attain the best outcomes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emma as a strong HR partner for HR projects or general consultancy.
Emma and I recently worked together on a complex restructuring project for a charity based in Kent. Our client needed guidance and support over a period of several months to plan and implement a new organisational structure as well as advice on communicating and dealing with the understandable internal uncertainty. Emma is incredibly thorough in her approach and her amazing attention to detail ensured that all consequences and outcomes were successfully planned for. She has very clear vision built on a great depth of experience and uses this to find creative solutions to client needs. Emma has an honest and open approach which makes her a joy to work with and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone seeking either project based or regular generalist HR support.
