We do this by working only with highly experienced and qualified subject experts in the areas of health & safety, HR and employment law, payroll, mental health and adult social care. 

Our aim is to ensure that we only bring you the essential information that you absolutely need to know. We don’t overwhelm you with irrelevant information or technical jargon. All of our products are written in plain English, making our advice easy to follow – saving you valuable time and money.  

We are deeply committed to continually improve the experience of our customers. We want to make their experience of dealing with Agora as easy and transparent as possible.
