Dear Shirley,
In anticipation of a positive conclusion to our negotiations with QS later today (signing on the dotted line), I'd like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you and your team - Philip, Katrina, Gerry, Penny and Kerrie and everyone else at Aylesbury - for all the care and effort you have all taken in finding a suitable position for me and my skills.
Throughout the process, I have been greatly impressed by the Professionalism of your team, and the conscientiousness of your approach towards prospective job seekers such as myself.
You have transformed what is arguably a very difficult time for anyone who loses their job into a thoroughly positive experience.
So far as integrity is concerned, you are simply head and shoulders above the rest.
I will most certainly be encouraging any other colleagues who find themselves in the same position as I did earlier this year, to make a bee-line to Shirley Parsons Associates and not to waste precious time and energy going elsewhere !!
So keep on doing what you're doing !!
You're a great team and it really shows !!
All the very best, Lisa
Ian - Director Safety & Quality
"Shirley is a pleasure to deal with, both personally and professionally. She manages an enthusiastic, highly motivated and pro-active team that is focussed on achieving results. Shirley runs a business that delivers on its promises - and that is what sets her apart."
Ken - Health and Safety Manager
The people I dealt with at Shirley Parson's have always been focused on me and my requirements, the BIG thing was feedback, I was not a customer I was a colleague looking for work.
The majority of the other 10 to 15 recruitment services, were not very good at feedback, some jobs I actually applied for twice, finding them time and time again on their websites, Most times I would have to contact them for feedback.
So YES I cannot thank your company enough on trying to help me
Best Regards
Ken
James - Health and Safety Consultant
"Hi Shona
I know you are off on your maternity leave now so you probably won't receive this till you return. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help you gave me in gaining employment with London and Quadrant, as you know I start on Monday and I'm looking forward to it.
On another note, I received a bottle of wine from you and Shirley Parsons Associates this morning which came as a very welcome surprise. It's much appreciated.
I hope you enjoy your time off and that everything goes smoothly for you with the birth. Good luck.
Thanks again,
James"

"I wish to take this opportunity to formally thank the team at Shirley Parsons Recruitment services for all their help over the last few months. The team have always listened to my employment requests, taking into account the geographical area in which I wished to work in.
Shirley Parsons Recruitment Services habitually provided information on current and proposed future positions within the field of Health and Safety, and have always kept me informed with the development of my applications, be it by telephone, email or a polite message left on my answer phone. Therefore, Shirley Parsons Recruitment Services will always be at the top of my list for contacting when a change of employer is needed! Well done and keep up the good standard!
Kind regards
Simon
Sophie - Health and Safety Consultant
"I found the level of service I received from Shona at Shirley Parsons both professional and exceptional. I was well briefed regarding the prospective company and kept informed of progress at all stages of the process - even receiving a courtesy call after my start date to check everything was running smoothly! I would certainly recommend them to others seeking a career change.
Kind regards,
Sophie
Neil - Group Health and Safety Manager
"I have known Shirley since the late 90s initially as a fellow HSEQ professional and latterly as a specialist recruitment agent. Shirley's knowledge of the health and safety market and her network of contacts is unrivalled, so when I was at Severn Trent and I needed some temporary support Shirley was the first person I turned to. Also when the time came for me to move from Severn Trent I discussed my options with Shirley. She quickly gained a full understanding of my situation and I was offered my current role at E.ON literally within a few weeks. Shirley and her team continue to provide me with an excellent service at E.ON and I would thoroughly recommend both her and her company."
