What our clients and candidates say

We have used Nick many times for finding suitable candidates and I have to say that he definitely does an incredible job in finding the right person! He has just helped me fulfil a particularly difficult position by thinking outside of the box and coming up with a candidate that we wouldn't have normally considered but Nick's determination to track down the right individual sets him apart from other recruiters! So thank-you for the brilliant job you have done on this recruitment & cannot recommend him more to anybody who is looking to recruit or looking to find a different…

Phil Noble

Divisional Sales Manager, Lawn & Garden Division
Nick is the most professional but also friendly recruiter I have ever worked with. Nick goes above and beyond, as a recruiter, he communicates brilliantly and has a real empathy with his clients. I would highly recommend using Nick to find you the perfect job as he has with me. Thank you for everything Nick!

Sarah Edwards

National Account Manager
Karen, thank you for all your help. It's really appreciated, and it's been so refreshing to encounter someone who's been so dedicated to helping achieve both our desired end results from the recruitment process. I have come across recruiters who are great at making grand claims about what they're going to do for you, but then when it comes to that all-important final result, just leave things to chance. Your approach with me has been thorough from the start, so once again thank you for your help and for backing me with some helpful advice.
