Hi, i'm Peter Harper, i'm the Contracts director for Claphams Landscape Services Limited. Erm
Claphams landscape services offer grounds maintenance services, erm to retail parks,
business parks, that kind of thing for managing agents, erm and we employ litter pickers as
Scott is, erm, has been employed. We also (coughs) employ erm gardeners, landscape contractors,
erm and we provide the full service for erm for clients on retail parks and business parks.
Erm and we were in the market for a litter picker for one of our sites which was in Cheetham
Hill and erm this is just the rod that we get in touch with, erm you guys, which we
did, and erm Jolene came and recommended that we take on Scott, so we went through the procedures
and Scott's now on site doing a very good job.
So what did you think, of erm, our service, with regards to the support that we gave to
Scott?
Erm, absolutely fantastic, and i think, erm, i think Geraldine did a really good job because
it was wet and cold and early in the morning and erm, she was there all the time, doing
a great job and we had no issues with Scott, so she must've been doing a, doing a good
job. And our line Manager Graham, thinks the world
of him, erm, gets on with him very well, erm, says he's very, very conscientious and seems
to enjoy the job. Never late, erm the client has met him two or three times and erm quite
often we get clients complaining about the smallest things, well we haven't had a complaint
since Scotts been on site so...
Well from what Geraldine's been telling me and from what Graham has told me, he seems
to be coming out, erm, of himself, and erm and having a lot of confidence, a lot more
confidence and...
Would you recommend Pure Innovations to other employers for there employment needs?
I, i certainly would do yeah. Yeah, yeah, obviously there's different categories of
erm people that you guys have got in your books and, and the requirements for employers
vary. Erm, but erm from what we've seen so far we would have no doubts at all.
