Brilliant company with processes set up for you to succeed. Louise and Barry the owners are two of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure of working for, sit out amongst the staff get to know you on a personal level and have a genuine interest in your life. My team lead Alan Montgomery and wider team were class people, will miss working alongside them it is hard to find that in recruitment, If you work hard you will do well.

Cons

Earlier finish on a Friday would be great
