N. Mapp

“I am writing to say thank you to the staff at Essential.  From the minute I stepped into your office to register and then starting a temporary position – almost immediately – I have been nothing but satisfied.  Your registration process was friendly and informal, professional and effecient.This is a welcome change, having had mediocre service, or more to the point negative experiences with other local agencies.  Once again, many many thanks to you, Rob and Abigail for the placement.”

Kind regards,

D. Bird-Davis

J. Rippon

“I would like to say a big thank you to Belinda for helping me find a new job. She was so easy to talk to and always kept her promises in terms of keeping me updated and ensured a colleague was there to support me in her absence. I didn’t feel like just another person and she took time to get to know me and what type of role I was looking for which was great. With other agencies you feel like just another CV but I always felt that Belinda was looking for roles for me. I would definitely recommend Essential to family and friends based on my experience and if I ever need to use an agency in the future I will certainly go back to Essential.”

J. Crump

C. J. Hardwick
