I have worked with LA International for 6 years on various contracts. They have been unfailingly professional to work with, quick to respond to and resolve any issues. All of their staff are polite and friendly. My agent regularly does a catch-up with me to check that all is well both professionally and personally.

I am just about to begin my 3rd contract through LA International at Warwick University. My two previous projects have been with the British Army and City and Guilds. On both previous occasions I was treated like a professional and any issues that appeared were dealt with swiftly and professionally. As a contractor of many years, LA have been one of the most professional agencies I have worked with. So just Thank you and I look forward to working with you once again.
