I have worked with Cath and Liz for many years whilst Construction Director at GB Building Solutions and have continued to work with Brown & Wills now that I am with Robertson Construction. I find they have an excellent understanding of the market and the candidates in it, and have developed a good understanding of my business requirements. They have identified high quality candidates at all levels as part of our planned recruitment process and also work well in reactive and tightly scheduled recruitment situations; I believe that they will always work diligently to achieve the desired specifications and time scales and would fully recommend their services for the recruitment of both temporary and permanent staff.
