I was fortunate to have recently been supported by Joanne Fletcher on a recruitment opportunity. This opportunity was an involved process, and as such, it was carried out over a three-month period. During this recruitment period, I found Joanne was an excellent professional. Her communication, attention to detail and advice were all part of Joannes's high skill set.
