“It has been nothing but a pleasure working with Andy. From the initial introduction, he made the process very straightforward and put us at ease, knowing we would be getting a quality service. Every candidate we have received has been well thought through, meaning we have not wasted time interviewing unsuitable people. The communication has been excellent. Andy has also made a great impression on the successful candidates, all singing his praises once they have joined us. I would happily recommend Parke Lane People.”

“Parke Lane People are an exceptional agency to work with. Andy really took the time to understand my needs as a Manager both in skills needed and personality fit within the team. By spending the time with me, I only received candidates that matched my criteria perfectly, which saved me a lot of time reviewing C.V’s. I have employed 2 of Andy’s candidates and they are both a great fit within the team and are proving themselves to be high performers. I highly recommend Parke Lane People.”
