Laura said: “I wanted to change the face of recruitment, the industry has such a negative reputation for being all about the money and not about the people. We do recruitment ethically, with a real understanding of our clients and the importance of placing quality candidates in the correct roles first time. We have clients who have been with us for the whole 10 years and large national contracts such as Bensons for Beds and Together Housing.”
