Yourmate Union レビュー 43

I want to leave a review to recognise Louise from yourmate for the incredible support she has given me.

Louise has been truly amazing. She made me feel like I matter again at a time when I really needed it. For a long time, I carried a lot of shame around my mental health, and my workplace made me feel like none of it mattered—that I was expected to just keep going regardless of what I was dealing with.

Since Louise stepped in, everything has changed. She listened to me, took me seriously, and reminded me that my experiences are valid. For the first time in a long while, I feel heard. She has helped me rebuild how I see myself and shown me that I deserve understanding and respect.

In such a short space of time, she has made a huge difference in my life. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and for the compassion she shows to people who are struggling.

Big thank you to Ben as my representative. He took my ongoing case and contacted me within an hours.
I definitely recommend this union of you have any issue at work.

Good support to their members. will definitely recommend.

I had a very positive experience working with Ben throughout my case. He was professional, supportive, and clear in his communication at every stage.

Ben handled the situation efficiently and helped bring everything to a fair and smooth resolution. I really appreciated his guidance and responsiveness during what could have been a stressful process!
Thank you again for your help — I would definitely recommend Ben to others.

Ben is amazing! He made me feel so at ease through my disciplinary process! I would recommend your mate to everyone as I have done… he has backed me the whole way. He brings that personal feel to the process and if anything makes you feel like he really is your friend through this offering the best support. He really knows his stuff and managed to help me get through a horrible experience where I faced losing my job with just a warning. I can’t thank him enough! Ben your a real credit to your mate you really are one in a million. Thanks again

I cannot find the words to thank you Dave enough for putting up the good fight on my behalf. Your dedication to ensuring justice and fairness for workers like me is truly inspiring. This experience has reinforced my belief in the importance of unions and the vital role they play in protecting workers’ rights.

I look forward to continuing my membership and involvement in our union, I am grateful for the knowledge that, should any challenges arise in the future, I have a strong and dedicated team of advocates by my side.

Once again, thank you Dave Dawes for your unwavering support, and You have made a profound impact on my life, and I will forever be grateful for your tireless efforts on my case even though we did not get any claims but also they won’t do it again anyone in future.

I'm writing to thank my rep, Martin, and the whole union. I would recommend Yourmate to anyone.

Before finding Yourmate, I knew nothing about unions. I was desperate and signed up to the first name Google gave me. I didn't realise that many unions won't support you if you haven't been a long-term member, or if your issue started before joining.

When I found that out, I felt foolish, stuck, and completely alone.

Then I found Yourmate.

The relief I felt when Claire explained that you represent members from day one stays with me. I cried. Someone was finally going to fight my corner.

Martin has been more than exceptional. He listens, he understands, and speaking with him feels like talking to someone who genuinely cares. We worked through everything—my concerns, what I needed, what to expect, how things could go.

Before Martin got involved, my employer had been aggressive and dismissive, speaking to me as if I didn't matter. Having Martin at the meeting changed everything. He stepped in when they tried to trap me with certain questions, and he challenged them directly when they repeated themselves or tried to steer the conversation unfairly. Watching him hold his ground—and seeing the dynamic shift with the HR manager and director—gave me the confidence to stand up for myself.

Every conversation with Martin felt like relief from the anxiety I had been carrying.

I can't thank this union enough. Your fees are remarkably low for the level of support you provide, which makes a real difference for those on low incomes.

I don't know where I would be without Yourmate. Whatever praise I give, it still feels insufficient.

You have a member for life—and someone who will advocate for this union at every opportunity.

Thank you so much!

I cannot thank Ben enough for the incredible support he gave to our family member during such a stressful and difficult time. Facing a tribunal against her employer was overwhelming, but Ben’s guidance, professionalism, and depth of experience made all the difference.

From the very beginning, he was compassionate, reassuring, and completely committed to achieving the best possible outcome. His knowledge of the process was first-class, and he explained everything clearly and patiently, giving her confidence at every stage.

Ben’s preparation, attention to detail, and calm approach truly stood out. We always felt she was in safe and capable hands. Thanks to his expertise and support, she was able to approach the tribunal feeling prepared and supported.

We are extremely grateful and would highly recommend Ben to anyone needing knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring representation.

I cannot recommend Dave highly enough. From start to finish, his level of professionalism, knowledge, and commitment was on another level.

He took full control of a very stressful situation and immediately made me feel like I had someone genuinely in my corner. His understanding of procedures, rights, and how to strategically handle matters was clear from day one. Nothing was rushed, nothing was overlooked, and every step was explained in a way that gave me complete confidence.

What really stood out was his attention to detail and his ability to challenge points where needed. He didn’t just “represent” me – he actively fought my corner, ensuring everything was handled properly and fairly. His communication was excellent throughout, always responsive and clear, which made a huge difference during a difficult time.

If you’re looking for someone who knows exactly what they’re doing and will genuinely back you, Dave is the person you want representing you.

Absolutely first-class service.

It’s so sad that I lost my case with my organization,and Martin Cheetham was my representative,an organization who doesn’t care about staff wellbeing or health status .am going through depression right now. and presently pregnant as well ,both the representative and the organization choose 14th of this month for hearing but unfortunately no one said anything .so bn a black African one has to just maintain his or her distance,I will respect no one should contact me anymore further ,because not like anything was done at the first place anyways. kindly respect my present state.

Helped a friend who joined recently. When other Unions wouldn’t help, Unison shame on you.
Great job YOURMATE.

Martin from Yourmate helped me articulate my concerns clearly and professionally, ensuring that the conversation remained productive and focused on resolving ongoing issues. His ability to navigate the tense dynamics made the entire process feel manageable rather than as overwhelming as it was. I am incredibly grateful for his ongoing support and highly value his dedication. Thank you Martin I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional support provided at Yourmate union during a recent workplace meeting. Facing an uneasy and complex situation, Martin’s presence via Teams was a complete game-changer.

First of all I would like to thank my union representative Martin Cheetham for his efforts and support through my process.

Secondly I would like to thank Yourmate for accepting my case as most unions do not take any ongoing cases.

Martin was very patient and professional, he listened when I needed to offload and followed up with advice and plans of action.

Martins presence in my disciplinary helped me massively and also impacted the outcome. We had a positive result and I would recommend Yourmate in your time of need, thanks Yourmate and a big thank you to Martin.

I would like to thank my trade union representative Martin Cheetham from Your Mate trade union for the outstanding support he provided during a difficult time at work. He was always approachable, responsive and patient, taking the time to listen and guide me through each step of the process. Knowing that he was available whenever I needed advice or reassurance made a huge difference. I’m truly grateful for his support and professionalism.

I would strongly recommend Martin Cheetham as a reliable and supportive trade union, whose dedication and commitment to helping members is truly exceptional. Martin thank for all your help!!!

I joined Yourmate union when things started to become unclear and confusing at work. I can honestly say it was the best decision I made, being heard and having some clarity around situations is super helpful.

I was allocated Martin.C as my representative and I would recommend him to 100%, he is friendly, makes me feel at ease and has helped me throughout this stressful process. He keeps me updated and quick to respond.

It is reassuring going through a stressful time to know you have someone to talk too and seek advice from. If you are thinking about joining I would recommend 100%

I,am so grateful to Ben from Yourmate union for supporting my granddaughter through a really difficult time, Ben went above and beyond, such a nice genuine guy, would not hesitate to recommend yourmate union

Exceptional service.
Ben took on our case at a very late stage just before the hearing when we were ready to give up. He went above and beyond can’t rate him highly enough he is amazing. None of it would have been possible without all his effort and support. We are forever grateful and feel very lucky to have found your mate when needed. Would highly recommend.

Your mate is very supportive and dependable.

The representative was great very ethical and showed sign of care for my concerns also participated greatly during the meeting with vital contributions, the best service I have ever had from a union rep I will be recommending to a lot of my colleagues

I am very grateful to my Union representative Dave Dawes his excellent support and representation. Dave was professional, knowledgeable and handled my case with confidence and determination. The case was successfully won, thanks to his hard work. I felt fully supported throughout and I highly recommend Your Mate.
