"I’ve known John and David for many years. I’ve always found them trustworthy and reliable. They are my first choice when recruiting for vacancies within the business. I would recommend them new potential customers."

He has worked with Building & Civil Engineering Contractors, House Builders and specialist Subcontractors throughout Scotland and placed in excess of 350 staff during his time in recruitment from Site Engineers to Managing Directors, and everything in between. For the past 7 years, he has focussed primarily on placing top Commercial, Estimating and Planning talent across the Central Belt

John’s success has always been around keeping things simple and honest; a trait which has seeing clients and candidates alike use him on a repeat basis.
