A great match

“Andrew has been working for us as a cleaner for over 1 year now. We are so happy with his work that we are offering him more hours,” said Jay Bonnell, Manager at Fair Repairs.

“I’m very happy to be working for Jay’s company. I’ve been here a year already and it’s been great having a good, steady job, “said Andrew Ramsay.
