HR Manager – Leading Chemical Manufacturing Company

I have worked collaboratively with Jason Seed for many, many years now although I have had very few actual face-to-face meetings with him, as this has proved unnecessary. He listens carefully to any job description or person specification I am seeking to fill on behalf of the business. Jason understands what many recruitment consultants do not understand namely that there is a much higher chance of a good job match if time is taken to fully understand what the job content really means to the business and to the job holder. Jason is happy to answer any queries and does so in a timely manner. He also keeps very good records or has a great memory, with regard to previous job roles we have collaborated with him on.

Major Automotive Tier 1 Supplier

I have worked with Jason for 10 years, as I know he is the go-to person for the specialisms I require in the automotive industry. His most recent assignment was completed to time and the budget we set, with high quality candidates that had been well screened and briefed prior to interview and thus clearly fit for purpose. They have delivered beyond expectation in their roles. I expect to use The Millbank Group's expertise for as long as I’m involved in this industry.

Head of Finance - Major Automotive OEM

The Millbank Group have been a key supplier over the last fifteen years and have the ability to react at short notice to meet our key recruitment demands. I have found them to be flexible, reliable and professional in carrying out their duties on both contract and permanent vacancies. I would not hesitate in recommending them as a supplier.

Leading Rail Infrastructure Provider

The Millbank Group have assisted us on roles such as QA/QC, CSA, Mechanical, Electrical and Project Controls. The team always meets requested deadlines and deliver a good level of CV. They have a great interview to placement ratio and are certainly an agency I would recommend to work with.

International Nuclear Engineering Contractor

We have used The Millbank Group for several years for our mid to senior management recruitment requirements. I have found them to be very adept in understanding our needs, our culture, and our operation imperatives and in providing first class short-lists. I have no hesitation in recommending their services. Jason is happy to answer any queries / questions and does so in a timely manner. He keeps very good records regarding previous job roles we have worked together with him on.

Major UK Logistics Company

Many thanks for your time when we met. I found your approach to be refreshingly honest and I have never received that amount of detailed (and true) feedback from anybody in recruitment. This undoubtedly helped when you got me the role with xxxxxxxxx. Thanks again. It was a real pleasure dealing with professionals!

Head of Supply Chain

The Millbank Group are good at matching the right person for the right position. They also have a rare skill these days in the recruitment industry which is to keep communicating and provide feedback and treat individuals as a human being, as opposed to being a number. I would always bear Forbes Recruitment in mind when I am looking for a position.

Electronics Engineer

Since I joined the company I’ve been really impressed with the way Sean and his team operate. They’ve helped us with some roles that we’ve really been struggling with and it’s always been in a seamless manner without dropouts or candidates rates going up after interview.”

Engineering Services Contractor

Refreshing! From my first interaction to date I have found The Millbank Group to be professional and attentive to both their clients and candidate’s needs, noticeably different to other executive and management search consultancies. Experts in their field, I knew I was in safe hands with Forbes @ Millbank, sourcing and recognising strong candidates in the marketplace whilst proactively delivering a first-class service for both client and candidate. Understanding aspirations and working closely with candidates to achieve the best fit gives them the edge in their field alongside their well-established networks and strong presence across a range of sectors.

UK Human Resources Manager - Major Logistics Company

Having worked, personally, with The Millbank Group for over five years, I am delighted they form part of our Preferred Supplier List. They consistently provide us with a good calibre of candidates to consider, many of whom we now call employees. We find the Team professional – with no ‘hard sell’ – and always willing to go the extra mile such as assisting us with benchmarking activities. It genuinely is a pleasure working with them.

Worldwide Oil & Gas Company

For over ten years, we have had a very good working relationship with The Millbank Group. They have supplied good quality temporary and permanent staff for positions including Project Management & Engineering disciplines covering Electrical, Instrumentation, Mechanical, Piping & Civil sectors. We have always found them to be professional and competitive and would have no objections in recommending their services.

Major International Chemical Manufacturer

Sean has been a trusted supplier for over 10 years, and his support transcends over several of the companies that I have worked for. The reason for this is simple, he is professional, personable, honest, transparent and above all delivers not only good people and service, but is attentive and solutions focused when issues do arise. His knowledge of both the nuclear and wider energy market is excellent as is his network and reach. Whether a company looking for a trusted supply chain partner or a candidate looking for a professional career consultant, Sean is a safe pair of hands that will deliver. Thanks for all of your support across the last decade. Alex

They understand our business well and more importantly provide a faultless service from start to finish, adding value at every opportunity. We’re delighted to be working with Millbank who have an excellent track record in finding the skilled workers needed for our critical and demanding engineering projects.

HR Director - Leading Engineering and Maintenance Provider

I had the pleasure of being approached by The Millbank Group recently. All through the process they were extremely professional, well briefed and dedicated. Having been approached a number of times, I can safely say that Forbes stands out amongst the crowd. There was a great outcome for all and I would recommend them anytime.

Supply Chain Lead

I have known Sean Boswell since my first Limited Company contract in 2011. He is thorough and efficient at his job. These are qualities that I appreciate a lot. He is very good at seeking and providing feedback - not many recruitment agents still do! Personally, I like his friendly approach and his patience when being asked potentially weird questions. Thank you for being so diligent and hardworking Sean - you set the bar high!

Managing Director

As a candidate I had a very positive experience working with Millbank. Though I made an extremely close decision not to accept an offer, I was very pleased with their transparent, thorough and professional process. I would commend the considerable efforts taken by the Millbank team to support my journey, they were excellent representatives of myself and gave a knowledgeable, well rounded and professional representation of the clients they work with.
