Testimonials

Mark Sawyer

Commercial Director

CPL (Cumberland Platforms Ltd)

CPL have engaged with Zoe on numerous occasions over the last few years and for good reason. Her knowledge of our marketplace is second to none and she has time and again gone above and beyond expectations when looking to bring in industry-based talent to our growing business. We feel she is a great asset when promoting our business and brand to the prospective candidate, the reason for this is she has taken time over the years to really understand who we are, develop relationships with key stakeholders and understands what makes us stand out from our competitors and is able to communicate that positively with a prospective list of candidates. She is professional, honest, straight talking and driven. As such, I can highly recommend Zoe.

Steven Corner

Aftersales Director

Pioneer Plant Ltd

Several years ago now I was finding it very difficult to find staff that fitted the levels I required, I was getting very disheartened with the recruitment agencies I was dealing with as they had no real grasp for the type of people my business required.

It was at this point I met Simon and to be honest he completely changed my opinion of recruitment companies, he knew exactly the standard I required and to this day I have only dealt with Simon and Elite Consultancy Network to source our Staff.

The service they provide is outstanding and their attention to detail is too, Simon and his team are the only place I go to now and still after all of the years that have gone past and how the industry has changed still knows exactly the type of candidates | require.
