Elcons
The History of Elcons
Elcons Employment Law Consultants was
founded by Managing Director John Peel in 2008.
The businesses started from his back bedroom
and now occupies three units at its head office,
including a purpose-built auditorium in the beautiful
village of Ripponden, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
John has a legal background and is a Senior
Employment Tribunal Advocate and had worked
within the HR and Employment Law Consultancy
sector for many years.
John had a vision that there was a niche in the
market for a company that could deliver a service
which was more bespoke for businesses and
efficient than the companies that he had worked
for previously.
Elcons first client was based in the Midlands
and it was not too long before he employed his
first staff member. As the businesses developed
John employed more staff who are still within the
business today. Elcons strengths are its people,
who have brought a wealth of expertise to the
Company and are highly valued employees.
Elcons now provide professional HR
consultancy and Legal services to over 750
businesses nationwide with a strong client base
in the North East of England and employ a strong
legally qualified team of Consultants as well as
support staff.
Elcons services are tailored for employers and
its prime objective is to help employers avoid
employment tribunal situations. Elcons do this
successfully by supporting businesses on a daily
if not hourly basis by giving them sound pragmatic
solutions to HR problems that occur through its
24 hours advice line. In addition, Elcons offer a
comprehensive Health and Safety service for those
businesses who require Health and Safety support.
Elcons also work in partnership with other
businesses, particularly businesses who’s ethics
match those of Elcons. Wilby Commercial
Insurance brokers based also in Halifax work hand
in hand with Elcons and their Risk Management
Division currently service Elcons clients who are
subscribed to their Health and Safety Services.
Born and bred in St Helens, Merseyside, John is
passionate about Rugby League having followed
his home team for all of his life. John is keen to
support local sports clubs. So much so, Elcons
have recently had their logo on the Halifax Rugby
League away shirts and have had recent exposure
on Sky Sports at the Halifax away games.
As the business develops, so do our services.
Elcons are able to deal with matters efficiently on
the same day and our advisors draft all HR letters
for their clients.
Elcons offer management training courses which
are held weekly to all of their subscribed clients.
The theory behind the courses is to give managers
the correct skills to be able to tackle HR issues
