What our clients say

Our happy customers have shared their experiences and we hope they inspire you to join us.

Adrian first approached me at a time I was not looking for new employment. He had a unique opportunity that worked very well for my situation. Without pressurising me that he had an opportunity I should apply for, he had tact to make an approach to understand whether it would work for me. This was not a typical 'cold' approach from a recruiter with a blanket approach.

Andy

Building Services Director

Adrian is an absolute pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable in the industry and over the last year or so, I've benefited massively from his advice which were always for my career's best interests. He's also a very friendly person! I would highly recommend Adrian's services.

Ahmed

Electrical Design,
Data Centre Specialist

Adrian was instrumental in securing me my new position within the Building Services industry. From start to finish, Adrian was professional, pro active and engaging throughout the entire recruitment process and is a thoroughly nice chap and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Adrian to anybody thinking of a move within the construction industry.

Andrew

Senior Electrical Project Manager

Adrian always made time for me and from our first conversation I could tell he is passionate and knowledgeable as a recruitment expert. With his help, he provided me with some great opportunities and discussed the benefits of each company before I made any decisions. Working with Adrian has been a pleasure. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new role.
