Bio
Jamie Stewart
Having got to know Cathy through networking she is now part of my inner circle of key suppliers of people that I recommend. Cathy's work ethic is second to none, and her values and likeability make her the perfect person to introduce to my key connections. She is a true professional, and her commitment to finding the right match between candidates and clients is unparalleled. What sets Cathy apart from other recruiters I've worked with is her genuine, grounded personality and the fact that she always does the right thing by both candidates and clients. Cathy's expertise in marketing roles is remarkable, and her understanding of the industry and its trends is invaluable. She takes the time to understand the needs and preferences of both candidates and clients, and her communication is always clear, concise, and transparent. I have no hesitation in recommending Cathy to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy recruitment partner. If you're looking for a recruiter who is not only an expert in marketing roles but also a genuine, nice person with great values, look no further than Cathy Knight. She is a valuable asset to my referral team, and I am confident she will be to yours too.

Cathy helped me to secure additional temporary help in my business. She was so effective managing my assistant 'behind the scenes' it allowed me to just get on with what I do rather than worrying about day to day employee admin. It was an easy and seamless experience and I wouldn't hesitate to use Cathy's services again.
