Reece said:
“I wanted a change of pace from my previous environment in administration. Recruitment provides me with a new challenge that I haven’t faced before, as well as the opportunity for increased income based on performance, which I find motivating. I’m really looking forward to developing my recruitment career and learning more about the engineering sector.”
