Working in partnership with Fashion & Retail Personnel, has been a joy! They never fail to surpass my expectations and meet the brief. When faced with staffing constraints, Ellie and team always deliver an efficient, responsive approach and provide a really personal service! The candidates they put forward are always great, and consistently aligned with what we are looking for in an employee. It’s been great working with this team over the last 12 months, and I am looking forward to collaborating more in the future!

Princess is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a driven, active recruiter who is dedicated to finding the right candidate for you, but with the candidates experience always in mind. She communicates well, provides regular updates and has sent over some really great candidates which has been integral to building trust. I would not hesitate to come to Princess for any future roles.

I cannot recommend Helen and her team at Fashion Personnel highly enough. Having used Helen to source temps for several years now she gets it right every time! She is highly professional, has a unique understanding of the brand and the requirements of each role and has such a strong relationship with her candidates. She provides real support for the business and such a high level of service. I am also very grateful for the way in which Helen and Fashion Retail Personnel engage with and look after their candidates, it is very much in line with our brand values and is part of the reason I see her as a true business partner rather than just another addition to our PSL.

Speedo International Ltd
Helen has a great understanding of the Speedo business and always ensures that she has a full understanding of the role before going out into the market place. Nothing gets in the way of Helen sourcing candidates for us and she always comes up with solutions to our problems, always thinking 'outside the box

I've been working with Julie and Jade at Fashion Personnel for a while now and have always found them to be incredibly personable, knowledgeable and efficient.

I'd highly recommend!
