Blue Light Capability Statement

TESTIMONIALS

During mid 2022 when the construction industry was rapidly gathering pace as it emerged from the constraints of the COVID pandemic, we were facing a big challenge in attracting interest from experienced project managers to lead on the development and delivery of major new projects in Thames Valley’s estate capital programme. We therefore decided that we needed to enlist the services of an external recruitment consultant to reach out to a wider pool of experience and this is what led us to commission MRG to work with us. The service we have received from MRG has been excellent – starting from the process of clearly identifying our requirements, taking their advice on realistic salary levels, right through to candidate long-listing/shortlisting and culminating in some very successful interviews. Thanks to interest MRG were able to generate we have been fortunate enough to fill our vacancies with experienced candidates who have settled quickly into our existing projects team.

I feel like I’ve been extremely fortunate to get to work with Stephanie and the wider MRG team over the past 2 years. In addition to my placement, MRG have supported the OPCC with further placements of which one in my team has led to the placement being my right hand person, and someone I would consider a friend. I’ve found the way MRG approach our organisational requirements to be refreshing, they’ve taken the time to get to know who we are and what we’re trying to do, forming relationships with the right people and being part our organisational go to for senior appointments. From a personal perspective, the relationship I have with Stephanie is really valuable to me (it’s certainly very one sided) as it has given me a sounding board and way to measure the market when thinking about how we move our organisational requirements forward and also acting as a reference point for me to check what I’m hearing elsewhere. We will continue to work with MRG as our organisation develops and no doubt, I will work with MRG in future roles and organisations.
