Testimonials

After years of temping, I finally found an agency that really cares about me and what I need. I was going to type "cares about the employee" but that'd be a disservice to G&A, the whole team treat me as a person and have had my back when I needed it. I cannot stress enough how satisfied I have been working through G&A.

Leanne has really listened to my needs and asked the right questions at the right time to ensure I have been employed in two amazing placements this year at world renowned institutions, without an inconvenient lengthy gap or delay in pay. She has even advocated on my behalf to a hiring institution I was placed with to ensure I was given quarterly contract renewals rather than monthly, providing me with much needed stability. Make no mistake this is a person who gets things done, quickly and correctly every time.

Phillipa in Payroll is also incredible, I have no idea how she makes sure I'm paid on time even when I've made an unexpected request last minute. ( I am ever grateful!)

Sian is always there and ready to take care of anything I need in the moment, with a rapid solution and it's always a joy to speak with her on the phone.

It's great communicating with everyone at this agency, as I look back over the emails I have exchanged they are so polite, respectful, friendly, caring and packed with instances of them going out of their way to anticipate my needs. I know I am not alone in this opinion as I work with a number of other G&A temps in my office and this is the opinion across the whole group.

This is the type of agency where you know them by their names, and they know who I am when I call, what more could you ask for?

I want to say a huge thank you to Leanne at Gray & Associates for all the help over the last few years. Leanne is extremely responsive, and has always had a new role lined up for me when my current one is due to end.

I am so grateful to Leanne and Gray & Associates for giving me an opportunity to begin a new career path mid-pandemic. Leanne has been nothing but supportive throughout the years, her willingness to go the extra mile has made me feel truly valued. I have had valuable experiences, I have been able to learn and develop in the workplace. Thank you for everything.

"I am delighted to describe Grays and Associate as a exceptional and fast rising recruitment agency, who uphold professionalism and excellence in all they do. I would particular love to commend Leanne, who is the Associate Director as an extremely professional, kind, diligent and patient person; who genuinely cares about and nurtures the professional development of staff every step of the way from staying in the role to guiding through interview advice. I would particularly like to commend Leanne on the excellent way in which she continuously liaises between the professional clients and myself, making for an efficient and seamless working experience.

I appreciate how Leanne is exceptionally conscientious & meticulous in all she does. She is also extremely dedicated and constantly goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me, as well as, all those under her supervision. She is constantly thinking of innovative ways to create new solutions to existing problems. The professional rapport and relationship between me and Leanne was easily developed, as her greatest strength is her ability to constantly communicate with all stakeholders and liaise seamlessly between the client and me.

She ensures that she finds roles which are best suited and matched to my strengths. During the entire process of finding a new role, I felt constantly reassured by Leanne's ongoing support in every conceivable way, for example; she suggested interview support, which allowed me to gain excellent roles, as well as providing me with fiscal advice, whilst in the role. I am currently really enjoying my role; which I have been in for the best part of 7 months, where I am provided with ample training opportunities, whilst I am also constantly exposed to ways for me to proactively learn and develop professionally at my own pace, which encourages me further to produce excellent work and provide great service, which I hope to develop even further with the help of Gray and Associates. I also really enjoy my new role as there are a lot of staff wellbeing activities which strengthen me to be better prepared to learn and evolve, where new industry regulations are set in place.

I have learnt so much in the duration I have been with Gray and Associates, all of which could not be possible without Leanne's support. I will always be forever grateful to Leanne for interviewing me to be a part of Gray and Associates. Leanne was almost immediately able to identify where I am most adept and used this excellent synthesising of knowledge to land me into the most suitable role for me, where I work with delightful and friendly people. I have become even more proactive and that is all thanks to knowing that in every stride I take to develop and grow professionally, I am supported by Leanne and other wonderful and amazing members at Gray and Associates. Leanne's aptitude at all she does is unparalleled and she is an exceptional member of Gray and Associates, we are all lucky to have her brilliance and outstanding nature contributing so much, and leading us to greater heights. Words do not do her character justice and I wish her all the best of luck in life".

I have nothing but the utmost praise for Leanne. Having registered with many recruitment agencies over the years and from my own personal experience, I would say it has been a bit of a mixed bag – some have been good, some bad. Leanne is an exception though as she demonstrates real professionalism when it comes to supporting you throughout the recruitment process.
You can be sure if a role comes in that is tailored to your skills and experience, she will notify you in the first instance and will keep you informed every step of the way from start to finish so you are not left waiting and wondering if you have secured an interview or indeed a job.
She is a real people person with exceptional communication skills and has proved to be invaluable.

Had the pleasure and honour to work with Leanne when I was looking for new role in Libraries. New to contracting and agency work I am endlessly grateful to Leanne for her patience, knowledge, gentle encouragement and genuine kindness. Really couldn't ask for a better recruitment consultant. She was promoted to associate director during the year I worked with her and it was well deserved. To anyone looking for a new role, definitely go with Gray Associates and also put a reminder in your phone so your timesheets are on time!

Leanne has been very responsive and provided us with very good candidates. Leanne understands requirements, listens carefully and comes back with actions and solutions straight away.
