Testimonials

Having worked with Benjamin for a few years I can say he’s helped us fill a number of really challenging roles, often with very niche procurement skills/experience when our procurement consultancy bench didn’t have them, or they weren’t available. – Steve Rowland, Managing Director

Benjamin is an honest and very knowledgeable recruitment consultant. I found the process open with frequent feedback that was honest and frank that help me secure the position in full knowledge of the facts about the business and role. – Andrew Williams, Commercial Manager
