Simon is hospitality professional and goes the extra mile. He spends his time to get to know your business. I met Simon many years ago when came in a see me and understand what my business was all about and what I was looking for with regard to Agency Recruitment - that impressed me. Aston have being very successful in recruiting many different roles across my three hotels and does not seem phased by the odd challenges that have been set. He takes a personal interest which I find very refreshing. Following Simon’s success within the Scottish properties in the group he is currently looking at roles in our English hotels and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
