After spending 10 years with my previous company, I was hesitant but hopeful about taking the next step in my career. After speaking with Eleanor and being presented with an excellent opportunity, my mind was put completely at ease. I had great communication about the role, the working environment and was able to discuss the position in detail ahead of the interview process. Eleanor clearly spends time seeking the right candidates for very good roles and I’m delighted to have been offered a unique chance to take the next step. Thanks for everything, Eleanor!

Far more than a recruitment agent ! I’ve had the pleasure of knowing James Mowat for many years. From helping find the “right” opportunity for me, he has continued to stay in touch as a friend over the years.
