A professional throughout the recruitment process. Derek ensured I was up to date with developments and what was required from me at each stage. Even after I accepted my offer he checked in to make sure all was well. Thank you Derek.

Elliot Whittaker

I recommend Derek’s recruitment services not only to Scotland but UK wide. A dedicated and honest recruiter whom I would not hesitate to use time and time again.
