Well I can’t speak for the whole what a woman …
Well I can’t speak for the whole business but Julia Northcott is amazing. She helped me out big time with my new job. She got me an interview back in March for the business which in all honesty I was over qualified for. But when that same company was needing a supervisor she was straight back on the phone to me and got a me an interview again. She is a lovely person anyway really cares about her job and her clients. And if I need to hire any staff myself I’ll be contacting her straight away.

Amazing agency.
The team at Meridian business support in Stoke on Trent branch are absolutely amazing. One of the best recruitment agencies in the country in my opinion. I had to take some time off work due to mental health problems and they were so supportive. Beyond anything I could possibly have expected. Would just like to say a massive thanks to Amanda and Julie. You are angels xxx

Terrible workplace
The worst agency i have ever worked for. They listen only to their supervisors even when their supervisors are wrong and don't care about anyone else. Plus the lady on the phone was very rude to me and did not listen to my side of the story. Don't anyone work here or you will never get anywhere.

The staff at Meridian HelloFresh Nuneaton are very helpful in supporting me with returning to work after 5 months and getting me shifts each week. Have never had any real issues and they are all friendly and supportive.
