I've worked with Maxwell for many years as an agency machine driver, across a wide range of projects and sites. He has always gone above and beyond to keep me in work and has looked out for me both professionally and personally, especially knowing I have young children. That kind of understanding is rare. What started as a working relationship has become a genuine friendship. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Deborah is very supportive and helps with every kind of problem that comes up on a placement, from site and management issues to timesheets. She's always easy to talk to, and I can always rely on her problem-solving and her attitude. It has always been a pleasure dealing with Deborah. She does a great job.
I've worked with Maxwell for the past eight to ten years. In that time he has been extremely efficient, helpful, caring and understanding, including through some difficult times. He has always done his utmost to keep me working, and his drive to find me work is second to none. I'm extremely grateful for everything he has done for me. Top bloke.
My experience with Deborah has been really great. She always tries her hardest to find me work, really looks after me and goes the extra mile to make sure I'm happy with the job. It's a pleasure to have someone like her looking out for me.
