Merry Christmas to Womens Aid
Christmas is often a sad time for many including those women and children housed in refuges. So we decided that this year instead of sending Christmas cards, we decided to give Trafford and Bury Womens Aid a donation of gifts worth £500.
Dawn and myself spent nearly a full week wrapping 50 pampering gifts for the women housed across the 2 projects!!!
Merry Christmas from Dawn and Dawn

Recent CIPD research showed that the estimated average cost of recruitment is £10000 for senior personnel, £5000 for managers and professionals, £2500 for admin and technical staff, £2000 for services and £900 for manual workers.

24% of companies questioned said that they are spending more time with recruitment agencies to ensure their requirements are fully understood.
