My wife and I recently registered with Greycoat Lumley's and had an interview with Archie McLintock. We both found him to be very engaging and professional and only a week after registering, we were offered an interview for a position in France. We were successful in our application and are enjoying our work immensely. We would both like to thank all the staff for their support and encouragement throughout the process and would highly recommend Greycoat Lumley's to anyone looking for work in this industry.

I highly recommend the services of Greycoat Lumleys when seeking to fill a position. From giving the job spec through to hiring took all of approximately one week. The candidates were all excellent, I couldn't have asked for a better selection. I had the pleasure of working with Poppy Disley-May, who is an excellent Recruitment Consultant - Poppy was efficient, effective and very communicative. Truly skilled recruiters are hard to come by and I would absolutely work with Poppy again and recommend anyone who needs a Housekeeper in North West London to use her services.
