Thanks for your time last Thursday evening, it was nice to speak with a consultant that actually understands the industry in which they look to place.  As you can imagine I had literally a hundred calls from various people and I don't think one actually listened to what I had to say, instead trying to steer me into a role which was not suitable, so thank you

June 2007 - successful London Banking jobs candidate

It has been a pleasure working along side you. When I began looking for a

job I had a number of recruitment company who had contacted me, yet the

difference with Commercial Finance was purely the fact that they did not

just treat you as another number with the pound sign. The relationship I

held with you was personal yet professional you encouraged me and kept me

informed from the start to the end. The best thing about this was, every

member I spoke to was pleasant and helpful at all times. I appreciate all

the late nights you have worked and the help and advice from the company. I

really could have not done with out you and your team.

Looking to the future, I am not exactily sure when we may have need again, but if we do I would not hesitate to call upon your services.

May 2007 - successful London Asset Finance jobs client

Finally, I would like to thank all of you at Commercial Finance for helping

me get a new job, and providing me with _quality_ opportunities.

I appreciated your pro-active approach and honest feedback, which quite

frankly put other recruitment companies that i registered with to shame.

I found your approachable and friendly manner a real plus in what was at

times, a bit of a surreal experience for me, having really only had 1 job

since i left school!!

You can quote me if you wish.

April 2007 - successful Factoring candidate based in Sussex

“I had come from a broking background, with experience in multiple product structures and wanted a move away from traditional banking and asset finance roles. Trish Stockbridge of Commercial Finance People recognised my needs quickly and effectively. I was able to obtain 3 job opportunities in structured invoice finance roles which were not available with other agencies. All dealings were very professional and beyond that I found Trish to be extremely personable and a good relationship was formed in the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use them in future.”

"Trish, thank you for this. As I hope you realise Commercial Finance People have been very important to us. I have lost count of the number of people who have come from you but they have been the reason we are what we are."

November 2006 - Factoring client based in Buckinghamshire testimonial

"To be honest you are the best sales agency I have ever used. You found me a

job I actually wanted with a company I wanted to work for. Most sales

agencies try to persuade you to attend interviews with companies you don`t

want to work for or for jobs you don`t want to do for less salary than your

present employers. CFP were a refreshing change."

November 2006 - successful Birmingham Leasing job vacancy candidate

" I cannot speak too highly of CFP certainly compared to others in the finance sector. I had been out of the UK market for many years and despite experience age was against me, but within a very short time they had lined me up with several excellent interviews at senior levels with blue chip institutions, one of which I was able to quickly secure."

November 2006 - successful Yorkshire based Leasing jobs candidate

"Notwithstanding my inherent caution when approaching a recruiting firm, I

found dealing with Prue and her colleagues to be delightful. There always

seemed to be time to take my calls and to discuss progress and options, with

a good deal of lateral thinking used. Allied to a proactive approach, the

result was a choice of job offers in short order. It was also refreshing to

deal with experienced, mature people."

October 2006 - successful Surrey Banking job vacancy candidate

"Thank you for your all your work in finding me a new role within the invoice finance industry. Your evident experience of the sector meant that you

matched prospective jobs to my profile."

October 2006 - successful South East Factoring job vacancy candidate

"I had registered with many agencies to look for a career challenge.

Commercial Financial gave impeccable service. They made sure from the

outset that they understood what I was looking for in my next role. They

talked through opportunities with me and I never felt pushed into going to

an interview. When it came to the interview I was always talked through

what to expect and also to ensure that I was fully prepared. They were

always there at the end of the telephone to answer any question that I

had. They found me an exciting challenge and I am grateful for the

opportunity I have been given. Their service and the realtionship that I

built with my consultant was excellent and I believe they stand head and

shoulders above their counterparts. I would recommend them whole heartedly

to anyone who wants to progress their career with the strong clients that

they represent."
