Operations Director, D-Line (Europe) Ltd
I have had the pleasure of working with Theo James for many years. They always take the time to understand the role and, more importantly for me, the cultural fit that we require of candidates. This means that I have only ever received a short list of excellent candidates to interview. The communication and overall service I have received from Theo James has always been excellent and I will continue to use them when the need arises.
