Having recently moved to the North West, BCL was always available. Keeping me informed at each stage, it was their local knowledge that allowed me to really focus on the right role for me.

They were all excellent candidates and as I indicated to each of them at the beginning of their second interviews, if we had had three vacancies, all of them would have received offers.
