I have worked alongside Chris since coming to London in search for a new role. He placed me at a top London agency freelancing. Chris has a wealth of knowledge about the industry, he really takes in what role you want and what will be suited to your skills and personality. I have recommended him to many job seekers.

I have worked with Chris for nearly 2 years now. Chris has always been really helpful, he has a great demeanour and is always willing to actively search for roles for me. He's since managed to place me in top London agencies for medium and short term freelance contracts.

Chris is an absolutely brilliant recruitment consultant!! He actually treats each person as a complete individual and happily talks through any issues or requirements with complete patience and understanding. He talked me through everything i wanted out of a role and then found it for me matching my skills and personality to the right role and company. I have now been in a great job for 3 months! Thanks Chris

      Hi-Spirits is synonymous with growth through innovation - so much more than a tagline, this effortlessly and effectively summarises our ethos. We seek potential, seize it and develop what ‘could be’ into something unique. We are never restricted by convention and we refuse to stagnate. The proof lies in our origins: Our climb to success began in 1999 with Sebor Absinth. It was then that we took our calculated risk –grabbing the Sambuca market with the development of Antica Sambuca flavours. Since, our company has grown an impressive portfolio of award winning brands including but not limited to: Buffalo Trace, produced at the world’s most awarded distillery. The fastest growing spirit brand worldwide, Fireball. The bartender’s favourite Fernet Branca, Ron Abuelo and Tito’s Vodka. Our ethos is quite simple really; we appreciate the varied tastes, markets, expectations and requirements of our customers, then exceed them. We consistently seek new brands to develop, nurture and offer our customers, whilst always ensuring the absolute quality and integrity of our products and believe whole-heartedly in diversity -but only upon a rock-solid foundation.
