Ben was extremely professional and personable; he understands all aspects of the logistics industry and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Ben.
Marion Taylor Ringsell, Business Unit Director Group Transport, Wincanton

Ben is highly productive, methodical, well organised and extremely proactive. He takes the time to really understand the requirement but even following completion maintains the contact, offers support if necessary and takes a real interest in the business long term not just for the duration of the requirement. A leader when it comes to recruitment, knows his (my) industry very well and looks to build a relationship over many years. There is no doubt we'll use his services again
Tony Fitton, Director of Operations, Iron Mountain

Ben recently reached out to me on a job opportunity. He was very familiar with the company and culture, and was well able to assess the potential fit. It was very pleasant to work with Ben throughout the hiring process. He kept me well up-to-date on any developments, but also was genuinely interested in making this a success for both parties. I can certainly recommend Ben and will absolutely work with him again in the future, may the need be there.
Demian Pot, Senior VP, GEODIS

I found the whole experience of working with Page Executive and specifically Ben very straight forward and professional. Ben is easy to connect with and quickly grasped what we needed and translated that by providing several credible options within a relatively short timeframe . Throughout the whole process the communication was great and and this is something I know the candidates experienced also. Thank you Ben for your support.
