​Lee has worked in finance for over 15 years and has focused his attention on the recruitment sector since 2010. Overseeing the complete finance function, he is dedicated to delivering quality results consistently, working with his team to keep progressing the department, which is very much helped by the fact that he is probably a bit too fond of Excel!

​Jen was fantastic

​Jen was fantastic. Brilliant communication, always at the end of the phone and nothing was too much trouble – a pleasure to chat to and great at giving advice. She found me a fantastic role, so hopefully (in the nicest way possible!!), we won’t be in contact for a while.

Corporate Communications Professional
29 October 2021

Extremely professional

​Working with Jenny on a recent interim role was one of the smoothest, most uncomplicated and pleasant experiences I have had for many years in terms of the recruitment process. Jenny is super efficient and extremely professional yet she radiates warmth and positivity at every stage. She always does exactly what she says she is going to do, whether that’s a callback or getting additional information, so it’s very easy to build up a great relationship with her based on trust, reliability and respect, which isn’t always the case in recruitment. I would recommend working with Jenny to anyone – and I will definitely hold on to Jenny’s contact details going forward, both as a candidate and for when I am looking for resources myself in the future.

She found opportunities that fit perfectly, communicated very clearly throughout the entire process, and managed expectations – which is so important with the current global situation and the uncertainties that it has raised.

​Internal Communications Professional

Really happy

Really happy working with Jennifer. Finding a job can be an emotional rollercoaster and many recruiters can leave you feeling they’re simply too busy to deal with you. That was never the case with Jennifer and at every step of the way she kept me up to date and confident, with sound advice and a positive attitude. Much appreciated and highly recommended.​
