I have used Amy at Douglas for a role last year and she was absolutely amazing, listening to what my vision was for my new role. She helped me secure the role without any hassle so when I was back on the market it was only fair for me to message Amy and as expected she communicated with me straight away and listened to what I wanted- really pleasant and polite to speak to! Could not recommend Amy enough to anyone!
