My Trade Union Representative provided clear support throughout a very stressful employment situation. He was responsive, well‑informed, and consistently helped me understand my options at each stage. I’m grateful for his help and would recommend Castle to anyone needing representation.

Ash was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and a true expert in the field. During a very difficult time with my employer, he knew all the right questions to ask and exposed HR failings in the company as a result. Also hiring him through Castle was overall very simple, and I was able to do so with very short notice before my hearing.

I was in a very difficult situation and without the support of my union rep Brian Lashley i would not have coem to an agreement with my employer. Without a shadow of a doubt without his support the employer with HR suport would have run circles around me and left me broken. Thankyou Brian nothing but praise for the service.

I cannot recommend my union representative provided through Castle Associates highly enough. From the outset, they were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and reassuring during what was a very stressful and overwhelming situation.

They took the time to clearly explain the process, helped me prepare thoroughly, and ensured that my position was presented professionally and effectively. Their guidance gave me confidence going into the hearing, and I always felt that I had someone in my corner who genuinely understood the situation.

Thanks to their support, I was able to achieve a positive outcome and move forward with confidence. I am extremely grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and calm approach throughout.

From first point of contact with Castle I felt well supported with Julie & Sara over the phone. They advised me and gave me the guidance I needed at a very difficult time. I was referred to a TU rep promptly and from then on I continued to have professional and very supportive advice from Qaisar. My situation came to a resolution which I would not have managed on my own so I only have thanks to everyone for helping me in a very difficult time

I cannot recommend Castle Associates highly enough. If you are unsure whether to reach out to them for advice, please don’t hesitate.

I know for certain that I would call them again without a second thought if I ever needed help in the future.

When I first contacted them, I was going through an incredibly difficult and overwhelming situation. I had never faced anything like it before, and I felt lost, anxious, and unsure of what to do.

I remember searching for union representation companies online, reading reviews, and hoping I would find someone who could help me. Making the call to Castle Associates was one of the best decisions I have made.

From the very first conversation, I felt that they genuinely cared.

Sarah, the receptionist, was so kind and reassuring, and she arranged a callback with a union representative quickly, which already made me feel less alone.

Brian, I honestly cannot thank you enough. Your professionalism, understanding, and empathy meant more to me than I can express.

During a time when I felt vulnerable and overwhelmed, you made me feel heard, supported, and reassured. You guided me through every step with patience and compassion, and your calm and supportive approach helped me regain confidence and strength when I needed it most.

Your support truly made a difference in my life, and I will always be grateful. Thank you for being there when I needed it the most.

I am very grateful for Castle Associates and Brian's help and would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone in need of advice or support.

I fell very fortunate to have been referred to one of the most reliable ,dedicated and honest employment consultants , CASTLE ASSOCIATES. From day one , I was extremely impressed by how my representative introduced himself and the professional manner in which he handled my case.
Castle Associates treated and supported me not just as a client , but as a whole person, always with the outmost respect. My representative was very easy to reach, gave me his full attention ,and took the time to listen and discuss every detail of my case. His expertise has given me great confidence throughout the process.
With Castle Associates, you have peace of mind and can rest assured that you are in safe hands.

My husband decided not to pay Unite the union because they are affiliated with the company he works for. Thetefore he didn't think if anything happened they would be neutral. With that in mind we contacted Castle Associates and was fortunate to be allocated a Rep called Quizer. I can honestly say from beginning to end Quizer went through our case and supported my husband understanding the case with both professionalism and empathy. At no stage did we feel he didn't listen, understand or explain the way forward and how he would put together the case. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and my husband who at the time was in a difficult place felt both comfortable and happy to speak to Quizer. Without a doubt I wouldn't think twice about using Castle Associates again. On the contrary I have already forwarded the number to a friend. Thanks again and on behalf of my husband he cannot say your praises enough.

The union rep would call me to arrange a schedule for a meeting prior to me seeing my manager and HR. But the rep wouldn't follow up in calling me for the meeting he scheduled. This was done more than once. But the company still charged me for the rep calling me in arranging the meeting. When I raised this as a problem with the company, their defence was that the rep isn't an employee of their service and to take it up with the person directly. I.e. they don't take responsibility for any problems caused by the rep. When I said to the company I wanted to end the contract with the service, the lady over the phone informed me that they will need to get the invoice from the rep before closing the case.

From my initial enquiry with Castle Associates to being allocated a union rep, the experience was excellent. I had many questions, and they were answered promptly and professionally. My union rep was really helpful in guiding me through my case and demonstrated exceptional knowledge, which boosted my confidence ahead of a grievance meeting. I am glad I made the right choice and would heartily recommend them to anyone who needs union representation within their workplace

Brian Lashley was great. He listened to my practical and emotional discussions and was able to steer me through a difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian.

Nash at Castle was super helpful and gave me clear, practical advice and referral information during a difficult time. Excellent service.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional trade union support and guidance Castle associated and my TU representative provided during the resolution of my case. Your expertise, dedication, and strategic approach were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the case and achieving a positive outcome for me. Thank you once again for your outstanding work.

I am very impressed by the level of professionalism I have experienced. Nash was very knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain my options clearly and in a way that I could easily understand. Even though the service was free, I felt that Nash genuinely cared about my situation and provided thoughtful, practical guidance. Their support gave me much more confidence in handling my redundancy consultation. I would highly recommend Castle Associates to anyone needing employment law advice, they are professional, approachable, and truly helpful. Thank you Nash and the whole team!

I am extremely impressed by this company after just a first 15 min call for advice. I spoke with Nash who was excellent. He listened carefully to my situation, provided me with the relevant legislation content to help me understand my rights and he suggested some options for me to consider. Extremely friendly, fast and professional service that I would highly recommend.

I can't thank Brian Lashley enough for the incredible support and guidance he provided during a very difficult time. Facing a disciplinary process was extremely stressful, but Brian skilfully helped me navigate every step with professionalism, clarity, and empathy. His deep understanding of the process, attention to detail, and calm approach gave me the confidence I needed to stay focused and hopeful.

One of Brian’s greatest strengths is his ability to challenge effectively and skilfully. He has a sharp eye for identifying unfair processes and doesn’t hesitate to speak up when something isn’t right. His ability to raise these issues in a firm yet professional manner made a significant difference in my case.

Thanks to his expert support, I was not dismissed, and the outcome was far better than I had expected. Brian was always available when I needed advice or reassurance, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure I was treated fairly.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brian to anyone needing expert guidance and strong advocacy in challenging situations.

I contacted Castle associates with a view to them helping me with my appeal against unfair dismissal. They put me in contact with a a representative of employee united union who was superb in assisting with my case, I have now received the outcome I hoped for !

I cannot recommend Brian and Castle Associates enough. They supported me through a complicated investigation, disciplinary & grievance process against my former employer, during one of the most stressful, upsetting and difficult times in my life.

Brian was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate, always ensuring I felt understood and supported. He always gave me the best advice, extremely honest and very economical. If I ever need similar help in the future, I would not hesitate to go back to them, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of support. They are a company that provides a fantastic service. Thank you!
