It’s been a steep learning curve, as with all new jobs, however I’m all round delighted to be working for Lennons. Once again, a big thank you Lisa for going the extra mile to make my experience of getting back into the workplace such a stress-free and smooth transition. Kind regards. Liz”

Mark was extremely helpful whilst finding my new role. Nothing was an issue, working around previous commitments and working hours. I would highly recommend if anyone is thinking about a new role get in touch with Mark as I’m sure he will be able to help.
“I received a call from Aldena Associates regarding a temping role. After the initial phone call and taking up the post, Darinka the Managing Director sent me a text to see if everything was ok and if there was anything else I needed. I sent my timesheet across and payment was in my bank. The following week Darinka again asked how my week went and again if everything is ok. This is an exceptional service, truly taking care of those who work for them. I have used many agencies in the past and nothing comes close to this service.
I would highly recommend Aldena Associates and hope that when this temping assignment ends they are able to find me another suitable role for me.”
