"I just wanted to say thank you for your input, support and advice during our first Interim appointment.

The advice pre-Christmas was excellent, your first candidate was spot-on and of course we are excited now at having our Interim join our team.

You’ve helped to make this process very straight-forward and uncomplicated and I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others in the future.

Thanks again."

Mark Wynn, Managing Director Avonline Plc

"Most recently I was in a tight situation, and Marc came up with some innovative thinking, which had the right balance between time and effectiveness. He listens well to the Clients needs, and ensures the key criteria are met before even putting people forward, this sets him apart from other recruiters who adopt a "scatter gun approach" which is frustrating for a busy hiring manager. I would highly recommend Marc to support any recruitment opportunity."
