“Over the years of working with Joe during his career at Spencer Ogden I have come to build a very good and productive working relationship with him. His continual dedicated work ethic and strive to achieve the needs for both the Customer and the Candidate have paid dividends for the portfolio of high end major players he has built within the power industry.  

Joe's knowledge of the market and understanding of the requirements for everyone involved in professional placements within the industry has also proved to be something of ease for him. On many an occasion now Joe has had the foresight to read the situation and line up my next contract with all the homework done well in advance of my current working situation coming to fruition. ”

I have worked with Sarah for over a year now and can say without doubt in my 16 years of subcontracting she is by far the best agent I have ever worked with.
