What they cover
Published service lines: Payroll, HR Software, Recruitment, Training & Development. Employment law work is not a published service line, so confirm whether tribunal defence is referred out. Payroll is run alongside HR, which suits employers wanting a single supplier.
Where they work
Ciphr appears in 8 of our city directories, with a head office in Reading: London, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Newcastle upon Tyne. Coverage is UK-wide, delivered mostly remotely with site visits arranged as needed.
Who this suits
Best fit for employers who value an out-of-hours advice line, insurance-backed tribunal cover and multi-site consistency, and who are comfortable with a longer contract term. Less suitable if you need in-house tribunal representation as your primary requirement.
