What Our Clients Say

"Sandra and the team at Cottrell Moore have catered for Interex's recruitment needs for several years. When we were struggling to attract suitable candidates through larger recruitment agencies and/or our own advertisements we sought the assistance of Cottrell Moore Ltd and have been delighted with the results. Cottrell Moore have tailored their services to recruit at all levels within our business from senior management through to entry level administration - screening candidates, conducting interviews/focus groups, and assessing as required. We believe that there is real value to recruiting in this manner and are happy for Sandra and Cottrell Moore Ltd to look after our staffing needs for the foreseeable future."

Lewis Tipping
Operations Director
"I had my doubts about recruitment agencies as I had had bitter experiences in the past. I said prove me wrong! They certainly did with professionalism beyond my expectations. I set my standards high. I was looking for a PA with specialist skills in languages and technical translation, It wasn't a numbers game which I have experienced in the past. They were able to meet my criteria. The candidates they introduced were of a very high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to use Cottrell Moore again."

Adrian Vicker
General Manager
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sandra across the past 10 years on various projects. Sandra is a professional business coach with a very energised, commercial approach. Sandra has an impressive ability to read and understand businesses understanding what needs to happen to facilitate change and then acting on this. She is incredibly resilient and will keep going until a successful outcome is gained for the business. I would highly recommend Cottrell Moore."

Allanna Docherty
HR Director
"Very professional, friendly, honest, and trustworthy. Able to understand client needs and turn that into results. Cottrell Moore is a great unit to bring in for recruitment but also their leadership training is a great package. I have found working with Sandra and the team a real asset."

Richard Powell
OBE Environmental & Charity Advisor
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sandra since 2015 where she has been a trusted consultant to Purple Line assisting with its Recruitment requirements and HR advice. She is always open and honest with her opinions, whilst understanding the requirements of the business during a period of significant growth and change. She has helped recruit and retain a strong core group of employees who have seen the business evolve through many changes and challenges during this period of growth. I would not hesitate in recommending Sandra and look forward to working with her for many more years to come. "

Mike Lawes
Director of Finance & General Manager
"If you believe your employees are your most important asset then you want a recruitment company that understands your organisation to attract the perfect candidates. Sandra from Cottrell Moore exceeds this requirement with her attention to detail and care in selecting a small desirable pool of candidates. The only difficulty you will experience is having to select only one candidate."

Mark Hubert
Brand Leader
"Cottrell Moore are seen as a seamless 'add on' to our business. They are not just our HR department. They genuinely support our employees, whilst remaining commercially minded to the needs of the business. They conduct all our Training & Development and help us grow with finding new team members. I cannot recommend them enough; they have been a huge part of our growth over the years."

Pasquale Iachetta
Managing Director
Cottrell Moore have been a true partnership to us, supporting with our end-to-end recruitment needs. Juliet is an incredible recruiter who is well regarded extension of the People team. I’m constantly hearing feedback from our hiring managers and candidates on how easy she made the process and her genuine care to provide a great experience to all parties involved in the hiring process. Cottrell Moore has contributed to our reduction in employee turnover and monthly vacancy rate, providing me with an extensive amount of data to report on. Additionally, Juliet has been an integral part of the team as we’ve overhauled the onboarding process, providing her feedback and advice during all stages of the project. During my time working with Juliet, she’s been subjected to some challenging and frustrating situations however she always handles them with ease and with a sense of humour. I’d recommend Cottrell Moore as a trusted partner who can be relied upon to deliver results and work as part of the team.
