Gill Hermes, Senior HR Business Partner, Nisbets

Thank you gap for your hard work throughout the implementation process. It was well planned, seamless, had clear goals and timing/transfer structures and completed on time despite setbacks, causing minimal impact to operations. The team is focused, committed and didn't let go if we were a little slow to react. We received great feedback from the workers transferred from the existing supplier and the advice given by gap's onsite team was clear and helpful.

Senior Buyer Indirect Procurement, Hallmark Cards

gap have been my sole labour provider since July 2017 for all areas of operations in our business – warehouse, QC, production operatives and line leaders. The team have a wealth of knowledge about the current labour market, they are friendly, hardworking and strive to provide 100% of labour requested even at short notice. Their order fulfilment has been excellent with our requirements as they've been able to provide 20 workers outside of peak and 90 workers during peak.

Dale Ford, Operations Manager, Eurilait

There are a lot of agency providers in North Wales but for us, gap personnel sits at the top of the pile. They supply 100% of our agency requirements and respond effectively, timely and efficiently. The team do a fantastic job every week, understand the changes in the local area and keep us informed. They are ahead of the curve and keep us well serviced. Two areas where gap excel is in communication and taking time to understand our business and candidate requirements.
