I would like to thoroughly recommend FBR Construction Recruitment. Having become very despondent with the recruitment process due to disappointing interactions with recruitment consultants in the past, I did not relish the prospect of having to engage again.
Dealing with Mark has been a breath of fresh air and how you would expect the process to work. Instead of firing off a thousand e-mails in a scatter-gun approach and hoping that something sticks, he has taken the time to meet me and properly understand my requirements. The net result of this being quality opportunities, perfectly linked to

I have worked with Mark Ritchie for many years! He always takes the time to match me to companies that fit and unlike some consultants, has never wasted my time sending me for interviews for jobs that are just not right! I wholeheartedly recommend FBR to anyone looking for an honest and experienced Recruitment consultancy.

FBR are a excellent recruitment company, over the years they have consistently placed high quality managers for me some times at the drop of a hat. Great attitude from all the team at FBR, if they can help they will. Always above and beyond

FBR are a breath of fresh air when it comes to recruitment. Due to the global pandemic I recently had the experience of 1st being furloughed and then give notice of redundancy. I made contact with a few professional agencies that had been very keen to add my CV to their portfolio, and then do nothing ! After a period of time where I became increasingly frustrated being bombarded with computer generated positions that had been total inappropriate and not suited to my needs or industry discipline, Mark and his team approached me and very soon after found the right opportunity for me. It restored
