Recruitment companies, and recruitment consultants are ten a penny, but really good ones that go that extra yard for their clients, are rare. Simon is definitely the latter. His knowledge of the industry is second to none. He not only provides a fantastic recruitment offering, but also great HR advice, which is invaluable to any SME. I highly recommend Simon for your recruitment needs.

Simon has provided a number of key personnel for our business. He takes time to understand both the culture and the key attributes of each role we require, I would highly recommend him as your next choice if you are looking to place a senior position within the supply chain.

- VP at Global Distribution Business

Simon worked for me on recruiting for a Site Manager at one of our new operations. He spent time to understand the culture of our company and the type of person we were looking for. Ahead of the interviews we spoke about each of the candidates, and his knowledge of them showed that he had taken time to understand them, and their fit with us. Almost every candidate we saw would have been a good fit for the role, and even creating a shortlist of three, resulted in some really tough decisions, due to the calibre of all candidates. I am really pleased with our new Site Manager, and was also extremely happy with the recruitment process, and the service provided by Simon. I can provide no higher compliment than to say, I would be happy for him to be helping me in my search for a new challenge.

Simon assisted me finding my current role. From the onset Simon took his time to get to know me as a candidate, through telephone conversations and meeting me in person. He provided me with a breadth of information about the role and organisation to help me decide if this role was the right move for me. My opinions and requirements as the candidate were just as important to him as the role and company he was representing. He maintained constant contact with me throughout the selection process, which took several months and has continued that contact months into the role. Simon has always had the time to take my calls, offer advice and guidance, all of which have helped me through this new role transition. His time, consideration and effort have been greatly appreciated and I have no hesitation in recommending Simon as a Recruitment Consultant to any organisation looking to fill a role or to a candidate looking for a new role.

Simon was faultless from initial conversation right through to following up with me once I had started my new role.

I felt fully supported throughout the entire process and was able to contact Simon without concern if I had any questions. All in all probably the most engaged experience I have had with a recruiter for a role and would highly recommend to anyone seeking a new opportunity.
