“During my 20 years plus in the fashion industry I have had the best and most rewarding career offers found by Fashion & Retail Personnel. I have always recommended them to all my colleagues, friends and any graduates who have crossed my path. Fashion & Retail Personnel are very perceptive to both the employee and the employer and know how to match the two, I have found they are not just interested in getting you a job but getting you the right one as they do not see this as a job but as a career for each individual. They are interested in not only your experience but also the person you are and if your whole existence matches the company they are recommending and vice versa. I always choose Fashion & Retail Personnel first and wait patiently for the right career move as I know I will be happy and content until I am ready to take the next challenge.” Sevraj Syed, placed Technical Manager in Hong Kong
