    ​I’ve always been interested in working at a Garden Centre. A few months ago Michail called me about a position at Holt Garden Centre. All the way through the selection process, he was available to support me and prepare me for the interviews whilst he also spoke regularly with the Garden Centre. I got the job, but it didn’t stop there, Michail has checked in on a number of occasions (including the day before I started and during the first week). The support from Michail has been faultless in helping me get the job I’ve been looking for, for years. I highly recommend him and the company. I’ve nothing negative to say. Thankyou so much.

    ​I started working with MorePeople around a year ago as we were finding recruitment hard, especially for those more skilled roles where we needed horticultural knowledge, the team worked really hard and promptly started sending through candidates that matched the skill set we required, I really appreciated the visit to our site so they could see the size of our plant area and centre. This meant the team could really start to understand the sort of candidate we were looking for; we will continue to work with MorePeople on our future Garden Centre roles due to always receiving a great service

    ​I cannot thank Felicity enough, I have used More People for several years now during my career working within garden centre retail. Felicity contacts me every six months or so to check in and see how work is going and to see if I am looking for a new challenge. I was recently looking for a new role and called MorePeople to see if they had a suitable position that they were looking to fill, I spoke to Felicity and with her help managed to secure employment in a fantastic role and could not be happier! Thank you again, I would not have found the role without you! Highly recommended, you and MorePeople are amazing!
