“I was first approached by Stuart regarding a new role he was recruiting for. I previously worked within M&E consulting and never considered taking a position with a large estate agency/property consultant. Stuart was able to give me a detailed outline of the company, the role, and the benefits of a side step into property consulting. After some consideration I attended an interview and met the team, eventually ending in an offer!
I am now a month into my new role and have loved every second of it! I would like to thank Stuart and his amazing team for facilitating my move and for answering my many questions during the process. I can easily say the process start to finish with Stuart and his team has been a breeze! Cheers Stuart!”
