Lewis Davey is on our preferred supplier list for recruitment. Our main contact is Kathy Balfe who takes the brief and works hard to source suitable candidates within our Planning, Economics and Design teams. She has a good understanding of our industry and the candidates she puts forward have been well ‘vetted’ in order to meet our requirements. She manages the recruitment process professionally and keeps us updated at all times.

The service provided by Claire Harris at Lewis Davey was first class and highly professional. Claire handled matters sensitively through her thorough understanding of our business and our specific requirements. Lewis Davey have convinced me that they are excellent at recruiting planning professionals but more importantly can find the right person for the role and the no nonsense philosophy and attitude of Churchill Retirement Living and Planning Issues towards the planning process.
