Great team of people at CCS McLays. My company (Mission Photographic) and CCS McLays have worked together on video projects and they were easy to get on with, always professional and paid promptly. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks.

Worst place to work! Between an illiterate team leader to ones who dont know the meaning of confidentiality, if you work there your definitely leaving with a mental health condition thats for sure, some day they will end up getting taken to court simply because the way they deal with things is completely not legal
