Jenny isn’t one to boast about the thank you messages that she regularly receives from clients and candidates for a job well done, however today her thanks was there for all the Glen Callum team to see following a delivery to the office by Interflora!

Jenny always goes above and beyond in helping clients with their recruitment activity and in this instance she was rewarded for a sterling job providing a leading automotive aftermarket company namely Bluegrasscoms Ltd with “salary benchmarking” information.

Jenny has been a recruitment professional for over 25 years and her knowledge of the sector is top class, great to see Jenny rewarded directly by clients for her continued hard work and professionalism.
