"The MAD MEDIA management greatly appreciated Peninsula's support during a restructure. It was reassuring to know we were doing "the right thing" by New Zealand law. We highly recommend Peninsula to SMEs that don't have an in-house HR specialist."

"I had incredible help and support from Peninsula – I can’t explain how much the team went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. I was often overseas with annoying time differences, and they assisted me through a very stressful time. I am so glad I signed with Peninsula and recommend their services to anyone who will listen. I’m so grateful for the help and support provided! "
