TESTIMONIALS

Rob had good experience in both the software technical aspects and a good understanding of QLM’s general needs. He joined the dots very quickly and presented multiple strong candidates, many of whom were not looking for a new role until this opportunity was presented to them by Berwick.  Once again Berwick has delivered for us, and we will use them again.
