I have worked through my business with Vanita for almost 2 years now, and whilst we have never physically met as she is in SA and I am in the UK, we have a fabulous working relationship, we speak every week, we WhatsApp regularly and have created a strong bond and a strong friendship over the time we have been working together. Vanita is a great support, very level-headed, super pleasant, and the perfect HR professional to work with. Her knowledge, expertise, people skills and calm manner is exactly what is required from a HR professional, and I feel very fortunate to know her. She will always bring a smile to your face no matter how difficult a situation you are trying to resolve. There are not many HR professionals like her and I do not know what I would have done without her support over these last few years. She is a great person to have in your business and in your life and I can truly say (even though bizarrely we have never actually met) I now consider her a friend as well as an excellent work colleague. That is a real testament to the person she actually is, that you can create such a great friendship and working relationship via VC.

Vanita is simply excellent, and our business benefits greatly from working with her. We are based in the UK, and therefore, Vanita is our 'person on the ground' in South Africa. I have found her to be highly skilled, friendly, trustworthy and a great person to deal with. Nothing is too much trouble, and I know I can always rely on Vanita, whatever the issue. I happily recommend Vanita. In addition to managing our local HR, she maintains our Company payroll, medical aid scheme and statutory reporting. She is also a point of contact between our local accountants and our SA branch, which I find invaluable.

Vanita has an ability to gain the respect and confidence of varied types of individuals. She has a great deal of work energy and would never complain of the workload. She has an innate restlessness to achieve results and as such Vanita responds to negotiated and planned assignments which have analytical challenge and variety. Vanita is a good co-coordinator who is willing to delegate and exhibits poise and confidence in most situations. She is a good motivator and manager of people, and an excellent leader who can communicate well and can be persuasive to receive results. I have no reservations as to her integrity, trustworthiness, attitude towards responsibility and ability to perform her responsibilities where and when required both in her personal and professional life and wish her well for her future.
Yours sincerely

At Ridgemont we have enjoyed working with Vanita for over 8 years. She has been a great asset to us by providing expert feedback and advice whilst implementing our HR policies and requirements. She is dedicated, loyal and hardworking. I would highly recommend her to any company that require a true HR professional.

I have known Vanita Walker for close to 10 years professionally first as an fellow employee and HR Manager and the last few years as an consultant(through Red Umbrella) assisting my own business with payroll services. She has always been a joy to work with, she applies a high standard both in terms of quality of work and a strong ethical application you would expect from someone who works with payroll and human resource matters. Her knowledge of payroll and her ability to go above and beyond in matters relating to more serious matters when they do arise make her a very valuable asset and I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone who is in need of required services.
