"Over the last ten years we have used many different agencies and have found them to be all the same, a lot of failed promises and a lack of understanding of how our business works. But since using Thorn Baker as our main agency for temporary labour we have found a massive improvement on the use of temporary staff. The fact that you and your team come in for regular meetings to understand how we operate, has seen both sides of the business improve, and we now get the right people for the right job."
Daniel Blackwell, Outbound Operations Manager, Vision Express

"During my time here I have used numerous agencies with good and bad results. However since using Thorn Baker for the last 2 years there has been a noticeable improvement in the standard and service of our agency staff. This is in no small part due to the efforts of the industrial team, who provide an excellent service, far exceeding any other agencies previously used. This is demonstrated by their on site operation, full shift check ins and 24 hour contact with myself and my team leaders. I would happily recommend Thorn Baker to any other company who are considering using agency staff."

As you are aware, many of those temporary staff provided by Thorn Baker have subsequently been given permanent employment by Synseal, this I see as the understanding Thorn Baker has of the varied requirements of the departments supplied by you. I am extremely grateful for all the assistance to have given and look at Thorn Baker as a valued asset to the companies resourcing needs. The success of those given full time employment as a result of their temporary periods, is testimony to the relationship that has been developed between Thorn Baker and Synseal.
