Fraser Williamson

Antony is extremely approachable and reliable. Antony made strong effort to understand my requirements and sourced numerous opportunities to suit this. He was always contactable and kept in touch to continuously assess my situation. Ultimately I did not use an opportunity presented to me by Antony however I would wholeheartedly recommend contacting Antony if you’re looking for work within the construction industry as you can be sure he’ll do what he can to meet your needs.

Antony has successfully placed me twice in my career with some of the UK’s best contractors. He is a very proactive recruiter but not overwhelming at the same time. If you are looking for your next career step, I can’t recommend Antony enough.
