Client Testimonials
At Millbank we take great pride in the exceptional work we consistently deliver to our clients.
But don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our esteemed clients have to say about the services we provide:
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 International Chemical Manufacturer
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
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
