I had Junior call me to talk me through my contract. I have worked in the HR and contracting field for over 10 years and can honestly say, this was most clear, professional and informative session I have experienced. He explained all points at a steady pace, checked for my understanding and asked if i had any questions. Most of all he was polite and knowledgeable. This was a well executed and organised entrance to our relationship. Im hopeful this is how the rest of the team also operate. Thank you
