What our clients say

Anthony is one of the rare breed of recruiters who actually cares greatly about your organisation and the results you are striving for. An all round good bloke who you can trust to call a spade a spade. Highly recommended.

Dave Hughes, Shared Services Director

People like Anthony are rare to find in the recruitment industry. He’s extremely professional and proactive, consistently delivering great candidates time and time again. On top of that he’s a truly lovely guy and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate in dealing with Anthony again in the future.

James Roberts, Chief Technology Officer

Apart from an extremely good and extensive 'black book' of SAP / non SAP contacts which produce high quality candidates, Anthony genuinely understands the brief. He ensures that you only receive CVs from qualified candidates and I’ve never interviewed one of Anthony's candidates that couldn’t have done the job.

David Evans, SAP Programme Manager

Anthony is an outstanding agent. He takes the time and trouble to ensure the role and circumstances are right for you. His professional manner throughout the process is a breath of fresh air. Cannot recommend Anthony and Harrington Boyd highly enough.
