See what Lynne’s clients say

I have known Ashton for several years both as a client and a candidate. Ashton and the team at EBP set a standard for the recruitment industry that many aspire to but few rarely meet. Ashton strikes the perfect balance between delivering effective and often creative resourcing solutions for his clients whilst fairly representing the needs of his candidates. He has an extensive and high quality network which he leverages to ensure perfect matches with client requirements in the shortest possible timeframe. In short the pedigree of Ashton and the team at EBP is second to none.

I have worked with Ashton for more than a decade, both as a placed interim and as somebody looking to recruit interim services. Ashton is genuinely one of the most professional and personable people I know, always highly responsive and always goes the extra mile to provide a great service. Ashton is also a very good judge of personality and cultural fit with the individuals that he suggests for clients.
