Reviews

Clients and candidates know they can rely on me for straight talking, sound advice, and results.

Where do I start?.. I first spoke with Gemma as I had entered into food management. Right from the start Gemma was fighting for me in any future roles. Gemma is responsive, accommodating and a willing person who goes the extra mile. Building a rapport with a recruiter like Gemma is easy due to her true understanding of not only the market but also the individual’s strengths. Thank you for all your help along my journey.

Nicola Harris – Operations Manager

What a star Gemma is. She is very professional at what she does, and makes you feel at ease straight away. When she contacts you, she has that touch that helps you get interviews; like I say, she is a star, without Gemma’s help I would not have started my new job. If anyone needs help in getting a new start, Gemma’s the one to go to, and any company looking to recruit for managers get in touch with Gemma, she will find you the right person or people for your company. Thank-you again Gemma – one of the best!
