On first ringing westray I spoke to a colleague however I wasn't called back as promised. I rang back the next day and when the person I needed to speak to wasn't available super Sandra took over and she was able to get me interview for a business 3 minute walk from home. I started my first shift within a week of speaking with Sandra. Couldn't be happier.

I relocated to Newcastle in August, and by Sept 20th Westray found me a job, which I absolutely love. They listened to my needs, and they have been helpful. So thank you. I would like to personally thank Sarah Elliot purely because she has been there for me from the beginning and still remembers to checkup on me.
