I had been with Essentials at 29a Church Street in Mansfield from April this year until this week when I became permanent. I always had work and all of the staff there are always very professional..approachable..very friendly and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. If you asked something of them, they did it without delay and you never ever had to 'chase' them up. If ever I was out of work again ...they would definitely be the first and only agency I would return too.
I just can't praise them enough...I'm so grateful to them for how they've helped me and been a wonderful support the whole time... and it's down to them getting me work at where I am now..that I'm now settled for the forseeable future. I will always recommend them first and foremost everytime, above many agencies. Try them for yourself and see! THANK YOU Billy and Essentials team A*** customer service
