Think I have cracked it now so sharing what works for me in case it helps others. I find HSA only engages if the EPB is off, foot on the brake pedal and I select a gear from neutral. So if I pull up on a slope, apply footbrake only, come into neutral then reselect 1st gear ( or Reverse) the green HSA light comes on then when ready, off the brake pedal and the car will hold for a moment whilst i lift the clutch and apply gas.

If stopped on a slope with Elec parking brake on/gear in neutral/feet off pedals the sequence is foot on brake pedal, release EPB, select 1st (or R), green light comes on then pull away.
You can of course use the EPB auto release but sometimes needs a fair few revs depending on slope. I have found the method above works on fairly shallow inclines.
Others may do it differently but hopefully this may help some.
That's exactly how my sales lady described it to me

I see the new Acenta Premium has Auto Hold... which for me means Hill Start Assist is irrelevant. It's never failed to hold the car, no matter what the incline, which means you just give it a few more revs, pull away slowly and the brake disengages automatically.
