“With her wonderful presentation skills, Angela has enhanced my knowledge and she has achieved programme objectives.”
Adel A. Al-Malik Chief Accountant, GPIC
“ Angela Sheen worked on an interim basis for the Public Trust Office, and its successor organisation, the Office of the Public Guardian, from June 2000 to June 2001. The Public Trust Office, an executive agency within the Lord Chancellor’s Department, was going through an intensive Change Programme designed to raise the level of service given to its clients. As part of the Programme, a comprehensive review of HR policies and practices was undertaken with the intention of introducing “best HR practice” and anticipating the Modernising Government agenda. Although taken on as a Personnel Generalist, Angela quickly found herself involved in a fundamental review of the PTO’s recruitment and selection practices. She made radical and beneficial changes to the existing procedures, including the introduction of Assessment Centres and Occupational Personality Questionnaires in the face of union opposition. She led a major upgrading of the organisation’s recruitment processes, including coaching and training managers, briefing to staff at all levels and giving feedback and support to individuals. She managed a number of high volume recruitment campaigns against tight deadlines, working long hours to achieve targets. She displayed high levels of professional commitment and gave strong support to fellow team-workers. ”
Adrian Rickards, HR Director, Office of the Public Guardian
“ Angela supported the roll out of the Public Trust Office (now Office of the Public Guardian) re-structure. She assisted in the design and delivery of support workshops for those impacted by the changes as well as a number of management development interventions. She is a practical, hands on HR professional who gets results and influences at all levels. She’s great to work with. Claire Martin Interim Change Adviser at Department of Business, Innovation & Skills”

“Angela has a natural ability to talk calmly to teenagers and has an unrivaled knowledge of psychometric testing and the scientific approach applied by most major employers today. Angela worked with my 17 year old son who was unsure of how to be successful with the application process especially given today’s scientific approach to interviewing. Shortly afterwardwards he applied for a job with a well known company and his application was successful. I expect to further engage Angela’s services as my children move through the stages of their University and early career applications. ”
Fiona Grindrod, Just Wills Ridgeway
“Angela is a professional and dedicated HRM expert in financial services. She has worked with us in many assignments over the years, in settings as culturally diverse and challenging as Egypt and Papua New Guinea. Angela is self-powered and assured enough to get to grips rapidly with any new situation and to make clear to her counterparts what needs doing, and how most practically to get it all underway.”
Jan Cherim, Director, Financial Access Consulting Services BV
“Angela has great experience and excellent techniques to deliver the programme.”
Khadijah Garashi, HR Manager, Batelco
“Using the ASA Bureau Service has enabled me to provide my clients with a really fast and responsive turnaround service for their on-line SHL psychometric testing at affordable prices. From the initial setting up phase through to the day-to-day service, ASA Performance Management have been on hand to provide me with the support to respond to different client requirements whilst developing my skills and knowledge of utilizing the functionalities of the system. I have been delighted in the way Angela has added SHL products to the system in response to my clients needs, resulting in a great business partnership.”
Kim Larkins, Director, KSL Training
“ASA reviewed our human resource management systems and made radical but beneficial changes to the existing procedures including personnel performance appraisal, training strategy, selection procedures.”
Po Shin Chang, Chairman, CHANG HWA BANK (CHB)
“ASA advised the client bank on job grading systems, salary systems and performance assessment systems, as well as on management skills in coaching, giving appraisals, interviewing, and the practice of management. ASA has proven to be competent on the "best practice" … [and] accomplished substantial progress in professionalizing HR management. ”
Sjoerd van der Voet - ING Institutional and Government Advisory Services
“Angela has been a great person to work with during various projects we’ve collaborated on. Most importantly, she has always believed in what she delivers, and is able to convey her beliefs and enthusiasm to inspire others with clear and constructive directions on her projects. She also pays attention to cultural differences, and assesses latent factors instead of judging by face value. She always makes an effort to work together with the client on a project. As a result, the clients are willing to open up and to listen to her. These qualities were extremely valuable when so many were interviews needed to give suitable recommendations aligned with the current best practice. On the CHB project, she demonstrated her capabilities to deliver her own recommendations. She conducted pilot projects to transfer the core knowledge to the local staff and made every effort to ensure they were able to either deliver the actions themselves, or assess the effectiveness of the recommended solutions such as assessment centres, job evaluations and other relevant training. She also showed interest in learning what already worked well in the past, and demonstrated her skills at integrating the existing advantages into the new practices. On a personal note, she is a great mentor, a fine colleague, and has long been an inspiration to me. ”
