“I would like to thank Future Leadership and Liz Jones in particular for working with me in securing my new role. The team were extremely professional but also flexible as I had to miss one interview due to personal circumstances. They also invited me to use their offices for my own business meetings prior to an interview. I was regularly kept engaged throughout the process which is a key requirement for all candidates. Thanks again to Liz and the team”.
