Jacky Jones to me is the best recruitment agent in the business.....she is professional, cordial....and extremely polite. She is on the ball when it comes to correctly placing contractors in roles that suite them. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Jacky has an outstanding reputation and I think she honestly deserves an acalaid. Well done on a top job Jacky.

Plenty of work if you want it but communication is extremely poor...wages are often incorrect ( as in most weeks) and when asked for correction its ignored ..holidays booked but not paid ..but they're quick enough to hound you when they require something...can't wait to sign off from the company...steer clear!
