What our candidates say about us....

J&A is the most professional consultancy in the Environmental health field that I have come across. Previously I have worked with two of the biggest agencies but in terms of professionalism and personal touch they do not compare to J&A.

James and Associates give me just what I am looking for. High quality placements, hassle free, swift payment and happy clients. They also take care of the insurance. I always feel I am more than just a number.

- Stewart Petrie, MCIEH

I have worked with James and Associates since April 2007.
I found them to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable particularly in helping me to set-up as a limited trading company.
With their specialist knowledge of Local Government and the contacts they have made and maintained, they were able to find  employment opportunities that suited by skill  match and the requirements of the client. Once in place they have continued to provide support both personally and professionally.

They have been proactive in identifying suitable opportunities immediately prior to the conclusion of any placement.

Thank you for all your help and trust that we may continue our mutually successful professional relationship

- Stephen Potts, MCIEH

I have been working with James & Associates for a few years now. I have so far had no problems at all with them. I have always experienced a personal one-to-one relationship with them, unlike another similar London agency where I felt I was just a statistic.

- Seymour Zajota

This contract has worked out very well for me and, presumably, my employer - I have already recommended your agency to a number of people who are interested in working part time in the future. I do this knowing that you have the personal touch and are always helpful and efficient. I also appreciate the advice that you freely give and that you are always available to speak to on the phone.

- Pete Squires MCIEH

I have been with James and Associates for several years now.  It has been and still is a pleasure to work with them.  They are professional, courteous and approachable and we have a good relationship.  They found me an excellent placement, which I am still in and always pay promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

- Amanda Samuels MCIEH

I have always found this agency to operate with a high degree of integrity and transparency, and are highly supportive of my role working independently in the public sector.

- Penny Dawson-Malone MCIEH

From the start I felt I had been welcomed into a committed and professional team. I like the fact that common sense takes priority; paperwork and bureaucracy is kept to a minimum and there is a clear commitment to making the whole thing work – for the client and the candidate. They take the worry out of negotiating rates and make sure you are paid up front reliably and always on time. 

It's a pleasure to work with them.

- Linda Golightly MCIEH

James and Associates have always given me the feeling of being valued and important to them. They are professional, but, friendly with it. They have always provided me with a placement contract. There have been no setbacks.

I am a very satisfied client of theirs.

- David Cherry

I was introduced to this agency by a Director of Environmental Health as "The professional Agency with the family feel".  In all my dealings with them, nothing has contradicted this view. 

All of my assignments have been within my own spec in terms of type of work, hours and remuneration.  Over two and a half years, the experience, as I have been told by clients, has always been mutually beneficial.  I can only put this down to careful vetting and total understanding by the Agency of both sides of the brief.  Of major importance to the working man and woman is the need to be paid on time.  James and Associates have never let me down.

I commend this Agency.
