Testimonials

I just wanted to pop you an email saying thank you. I always get great friendly reliable service from all you guys

I love the fact that it doesn’t matter who picks up the phone they will know everything they need to know about your booking.

I also love the fact that there is no false promises and if you can’t fill the gap you don’t say you can to later let me down.

And the calibre of the people you enrol is great I have no complaints.

So thank you.

Matthew Gardner, Executive Head Chef
De Vere Venues Horsley Park

When I relocated to Guildford in March, I contacted Scattergoods in order to find a job that suited me. Whilst looking for a permanent position for me, they placed me in a number of temporary assignments that all suited my skills.

Within a month I had been offered two very good jobs at top hotels in the area and commenced work as a pastry chef exactly four weeks after relocating.

Thank you Scattergoods!
