Howard... Where do I begin.. A formidable gentleman and salesman combined! Howard combined his unique and caring personality with his extensive knowledge of the recruitment industry not only from a fiscal perspective, but from an economic and internal perspective. His market intelligence combined with the product he offered me seen my business rocket from a £78,000 to £435,000 sales in just under one year. What makes Howard different is that he does not sell you the product and wash his hands of the 'sale' he also provides a sense of security, direct contact information and provides wisdom and advice when you need it most. I have enjoyed the past few years of working aside Howard who provided me an unforgettable, excellent and top-class service.

Howard was my first point of contact at one of our key suppliers when I set up our own recruitment business which was almost 3 years ago. He has since that time, kept in regular touch with us as a client and taken a genuine interest in our progress - there was no 'get in, make the sale and then get out' with him, he is a thoroughly genuine professional that always does what he says he is going to do - pretty rare these days. I would have no hesitation in recommending Howard.
