I placed Shawn at Vance International as a temporary contractor in 2008 and his fantastic performance in the role resulted in the permanent position being offered. Throughout this time Shawn has worked closely with the Finance Director and the feedback has always been positive and he comes highly recommended. For the last two years Shawn has been the Finance Manager for Vance International and covering all aspects a Finance Manager/Management Accounts position. I would recommend Shawn to any potential employer and he would be an asset to any team or company.
