I had a good feeling about them as soon as I met them so thank you very much for making it happen. Hopefully I wont need you for many years but if in the next couple of years I get into a position where im recruiting then you will be the first person I call.
Invoice Finance BDM - London/South East - August 2010
On two occasions in the last four years I needed the help of Prue and Trish, for obvious reasons. I ended with stellar jobs feeling more confident about myself and the future. What Commercial Finance People do, in a very subtle way, is mix emotional and professional support, with the right dosage, and prepare strong candidates who feel good about themselves and perform well at the interviews. This recruitment company is very intelligent and well-connected and I wish them every success in the future.
ABL Senior Client Manager - London/South East - August 2010
“I have found Commercial Finance People and especially Prue Heron, to be a joy to liaise with. She (and her colleagues) have provided excellent assistance in helping me to get into back into the Financial Services Market and the ongoing support provided during my period as a Contractor was invaluable. From my personal experience, Recruitment Agencies are normally difficult to deal with; Commercial Finance People is the exception to this, a more professional and personable service you could not ask for. Thanks to Prue and her colleagues for finding a role which suited my skill set perfectly and for making the process of searching a far less stressful (and decidedly more humorous) one!”
Commercial Banking Credit Sanctioner- London - August 2010
Trish - Just a quick e-mail to thank you for all your help and to let you know that at the end of last week I accepted the offer.
Invoice Finance - Assistant Relationship Manager - Yorkshire - July 2010
I would like to thank all of you at CFP recruitment for helping
me get a new job, and providing me with _quality_ opportunities.
I appreciated your pro-active approach and honest feedback, which quite
frankly put other recruitment companies that i registered with to shame.
Asset Based Lending BDM - North West - June 2010
To everyone at Commercial Finance People - thank you all for your help you have been a great support to me throughout the whole process. You were also the most professional yet friendly recruitment team I have worked with. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Leasing Senior Credit Manager - South East - May 2010
"To be honest you are the best recruitment agency I have ever used. You found me a job I actually wanted with a company I wanted to work for. Most agencies try to persuade you to attend interviews with companies you don`t want to work for or for jobs you don`t want to do for less salary than your present employers. CFP were a refreshing change."
Corporate Banking Relationship Manager - Manchester - March 2010
"I would recommend any person looking to further their career to consider Commercial Finance People. Through their professionalism and understanding of both mine and the employer requirements, CFP recruitment were able to provide me with the opportunity to further my career"
Invoice Finance Business Development Manager - London - February 2010
The service that you provided to myself was first class from start to finish. You always kept me informed of what was happening, made sure I knew any developments and were keen to find out how things had gone from my perspective. I have been looking for a job for about a year and you have been the first person from any agency that has been working to help me right from the start to the finish. Many thanks for all your assistance and making the process of obtaining this job enjoyable.
Asset Finance BDM - Scotland - January 2010
The service you provided was excellent so thanks very much. I am really enjoying my new role with XXXX. I will certainly recommend Commercial Finance People if i hear of anyone looking for a job. Thanks again for your all your help.
Invoice Finance Client Manager - South West - December 2009
Thank you for your time last Tuesday, it was particularly helpful for me in respect of constructing my CV. I do apologise for taking longer than I anticipated in mailing it to you both. Do let me know if you have any feedback in terms of content or structure.
I am also grateful for you in taking time to register me with your company and would be happy to hear from you if you have any potential vacancies that may be of interest. Do you require anything else from me to complete the registration process?
Asset Finance Candidate - Midlands - October 2009
It was lovely to meet you and Prue last week; you were both so encouraging and helpful, which was so reassuring especially in the face of redundancy.
Sorry I have not sent my C.V. sooner, but finally I have added the Achievements, Key Skills and Profile all of which can be adjusted. I am sure there must be other things that can be improved and as you said I could forward you my C.V. I hope it is ok to forward to you now.
Asset Finance Candidate - Midlands - October 2009
CFP are a credit to their profession. They kept me informed throughout the process and dealt with sensitive issues impeccably. Their personal approach was very important to me and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Banking Relationship Manager - Midlands - September 2009
Settling in well and enjoying things, takes about 1hr 40mins to get to the office which isn't too bad at all. I think your service has been excellent, the whole process was very straightforward and hassle free and I knew you were always available to contact if there were any problems. Please don't take it the wrong way but I hope I don't need to make use of your services for some time! Although of course if we need ot recruit I will pick the phone up to you straight away.
Receivables Finance, Head of Client Relations - London - August 2009
I am settling in well at XXXX and many of the plans that I discussed with XXXX appear to be evolving. So a good start. As far as comments about the process with you go, I think you handled the whole recruitment (especially given its drawn out nature!) extremely professionally.
Asset Based Lending - Relationship Manager - South East - July 2009
Dear Trish, I would like to thank you for your personal and welcoming approach. I found you and your team both attentive and reliable. I am extremely excited about my new role, which I am confident will prove instrumental in progressing my career.
Invoice Finance - Senior Client Manager - North West - July 2009
Commercial Finance People provided a true end to end service from discussing the opportunity, preparing me for interview onto giving guidance in negotiating a package with my new employer. They always responded promptly to all my queries and were genuinely interested in finding a job that suited me. Good work CFP
Asset Based Lending Auditor - Independent ABL company - London - June 2009
I'd like to thank you very much for all your assistance with my successful job application. I was confident throughout that my best interests were being served, which is something that cannot be said for all agencies. All the people I spoke to at Commercial Finance People were familiar with my circumstances and were helpful and professional. I'll not hesitate to recommend your business to all my professional contacts in the future.
Invoice Finance Client Manager - Subsidiary of a UK Bank - North West - April 2009
I would just like to express my satisfaction with the way my placement was handled. I was delighted with the level of service and attention my placement received and the effort you personally put into the whole process. In addition, I would like to thank both you and your team for the service provided and wish you every success in the future.
ABL Credit Director - Major Independent Invoice Finance company - London - April 2009
I can only thank you for the service you have provided after taking my case over from your colleague who managed to find me this role before it was even created. The level of professionalism at CFP was far higher than the other agencies I was dealing with and although you are located at the other end of the country, finding me a position ahead of local agencies is a credit to you.
Receivables Manager for a Business Recovery arm of a Major Accountancy Firm - April 2009
Things are going well thank you. I am getting involved in a number of areas of the business, much as expected. Thank you for thinking laterally around my CV.
Collections/Account Manager - Specialist service provider to the finance industry - March 2009
I am more than happy with your services. I love my new job and the company. I didn’t expect that people can be so nice to you. I am very busy and I learn new thing every day. I can highly recommend you as Recruitment Agency
Invoice Finance Assistant Relationship Manager - March 2009
"Thank you for your all your work in finding me a new role within the business recovery sector. Your evident experience of the sector meant that you
matched prospective jobs to my profile."
Business Review Executive - Business Recovery - January 2009
I want to put it along the lines that from day one I felt I was being given
a totally personal service with support and guidance every step of the way.
CFP recruitment had successfully recruited for me in the past (as a client), therefore they were the first port of call when I was considering my options. This is where I was particularly impressed as my initial enquiry was just asking for advice as
opposed to " I am definitely looking", therefore I felt my interests were put ahead of any commercial benefits CFP would gain from placing me.
Corporate Banking Relationship Manager - January 2009
I have known Trish & Prue at CFP recruitment for over a decade now, having placed me for my debut role in Factoring way back in 1998, and we have kept in regular contact ever since. Trish & Prue along with the rest of the team are extremely well connected and are held in very high regard by all the prospective employers they have introduced me to over the years. With the current labour market conditions being as they are it is a relief to know that there are people like CFP recruitment who will not simply try and pigeon-hole people with the roles already on their books but will proactively seek the best opportunities for their candidates and tailor direct approaches to specific employers based on detailed discussions and their market experience. So, 10 years after first placing me they have just done so again with a fantastic role with a well respected player, and although I hope I will not need them again soon, CFP will always be my first call.
ABL Auditor in the Midlands - January 2009
"In difficult and uncertain times I approached Trish at CFP and explained what role I was ideally looking for and what financial package I would need to give me the impetus to leave my relatively safe and remunerative current role. Trish's knowledge of the market place was excellent and Trish was able to offer an option immediately. Following our discussions Trish provided me with all the information I needed, updated my C.V. and arranged a prompt interview with the employer. Throughout the whole application and interview process Trish kept me up-to-date, through to my successful new employment. In Trish's holiday absence her colleagues, including Prue, ably & professionally assisted my application. I wish to thank all the staff at CFP recruitment."
ABL Business Development Manager in Sussex - December 2008
"A couple of my new colleagues told me they had also found their positions through you and we generally agreed your approach was both friendly and efficient. Needless to say if I hear of anyone in the market for a new job I will give them your details."
Insolvency Practitioner in the North West - November 2008
"Just wanted to say a big 'Thank you' to Lorraine Grant and the team at CFP recruitment for finding me my new job! As you know, I had several false starts but found CFP really helpful and professional. Please feel free to add this to your website testimonials."

I found CFP to be extremeley professional at all times. They listened to my wishes and requirements and focussed on them at all times. They adhered to my needs regarding salary expectation, location and gave me space to think about my options without any pressure. This was crucial to me at a very stressful time. I was well briefed before interviews and the follow up was excellent. I would definitely recommend anyone in the financial sector to contact them as they genuinely have your interests at heart. I now have an excellent job and my salary expectations have been met

suggestions. Many thanks for that, appreciate your efforts.
Corporate Banking Client - November 2007
Thanks for your time last Thursday evening, it was nice to speak with a consultant that actually understands the industry in which they look to place. As you can imagine I had literally a hundred calls from various people and I don't think one actually listened to what I had to say, instead trying to steer me into a role which was not suitable, so thank you

July 2007 - successful candidate in factoring based in London
It has been a pleasure working along side you. When I began looking for a
job I had a number of recruitment company who had contacted me, yet the
difference with Commercial Finance was purely the fact that they did not
just treat you as another number with the pound sign. The relationship I
held with you was personal yet professional you encouraged me and kept me
informed from the start to the end. The best thing about this was, every
member I spoke to was pleasant and helpful at all times. I appreciate all
the late nights you have worked and the help and advice from the company. I
really could have not done with out you and your team.

Looking to the future, I am not exactily sure when we may have need again, but if we do I would not hesitate to call upon your services.
May 2007 - successful London Asset Finance jobs client
“I had come from a broking background, with experience in multiple product structures and wanted a move away from traditional banking and asset finance roles. Trish Stockbridge of Commercial Finance People recognised my needs quickly and effectively. I was able to obtain 3 job opportunities in structured invoice finance roles which were not available with other agencies. All dealings were very professional and beyond that I found Trish to be extremely personable and a good relationship was formed in the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use them in future.”

Thank you for the 'New Job'card! Such a pleasant surprise! Funnily enough, it was my first and only card to mark such an important event.... Today is my third day at my new company and I am really happy - a lot to learn, of course(I am so eager to be fully operational asap), very structured environment (policies/procedures/templates) and nice, professional people willing to help. Thank you once again for facilitating my placement and I wish you and the whole team success in 2007!
January 2007 - successful London Banking jobs candidate
"Trish, thank you for this. As I hope you realise CFP recruitment have been very important to us. I have lost count of the number of people who have come from you but they have been the reason we are what we are."
November 2006 - Factoring client based in Buckinghamshire testimonial
" I cannot speak too highly of CFP certainly compared to others in the finance sector. I had been out of the UK market for many years and despite experience age was against me, but within a very short time they had lined me up with several excellent interviews at senior levels with blue chip institutions, one of which I was able to quickly secure."
November 2006 - successful Yorkshire based Leasing jobs candidate
"Notwithstanding my inherent caution when approaching a recruiting firm, I
found dealing with Prue and her colleagues at CFP recruitment to be delightful. There always seemed to be time to take my calls and to discuss progress and options, with
a good deal of lateral thinking used. Allied to a proactive approach, the
result was a choice of job offers in short order. It was also refreshing to
deal with experienced, mature people."
October 2006 - successful Surrey Banking job vacancy candidate
"I had registered with many agencies to look for a career challenge.
Commercial Financial gave impeccable service. They made sure from the
outset that they understood what I was looking for in my next role. They
talked through opportunities with me and I never felt pushed into going to
an interview. When it came to the interview I was always talked through
what to expect and also to ensure that I was fully prepared. They were
always there at the end of the telephone to answer any question that I
had. They found me an exciting challenge and I am grateful for the
opportunity I have been given. Their service and the realtionship that I
built with my consultant was excellent and I believe they stand head and
shoulders above their counterparts. I would recommend them whole heartedly
to anyone who wants to progress their career with the strong clients that
they represent."
