Testimonials

'At the end of last year, I was made redundant and was at a real loss. I was referred to The People Hub and spoke to Kim who kindly referred me to another lady Maggie at the National Careers Service with a view to reviewing my CV. I made the call and updated my CV. My revised CV got lots more interest and I ended up here - a newly recruited Work Coach for the DWP. So a big thank you to Kim for that initial advice.'

'It's great to hear that the focus is on the need of the customer, and doing what is right for them.'
