About WorkNest

WorkNest (part of Axiom GRC) provides employment law advice and documentation, HR consultancy, tribunal support, business immigration law and health & safety services to UK employers. It was formed from the rebrand bringing together Ellis Whittam and other employment law/H&S brands. Team size is in the 51-200 range.

What they cover

Published service lines: HR Outsourcing, HR Consultancy, Employment Law Support, Training & Development, Health & Safety. Employment law support is offered in-house, so advice and representation can sit with the same firm.

Where they work

WorkNest appears in 1 of our city directories, with a head office in Chester: Birmingham. 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 high-volume payroll bureau services as your primary requirement.
