Testimonials

I derive tremendous job satisfaction from what I do and thrive on the cut and thrust of finding candidates who in turn become clients. I've got the best of both worlds - running my own show, but knowing I have the support and infrastructure of an established and respected organisation when I need it.

I have seen some massive changes in the health and social care agency market over recent years; domicilary care in particular has become a very important part of the business and is the fastest growing element of what we do. Regulation has become increasingly demanding needing expert back up to create competitive advantage. I see it is very important to be part of a larger group now - having run a independent agency in the past - to give stability and added confidence to the client. The back up services and support through the Network Group are a real bonus and take away many of the headaches of running the agency leaving me to concentrate on delivery the services and managing client relationships which ultimately deliver our profits.

Bob Walker bought his C N A franchise nine years ago and is celebrating by taking the C N A system around the world.

Bob offers recruitment solutions to the chemical industry – "the chemical industry is global and speaks English, so we have always looked beyond the UK for business. Our first placements were in Germany and Saudi Arabia."

At a time when many recruitment companies are downsizing, Bob's C N A office is thriving and he won a trophy for best performance recently.

"We are celebrating our anniversary by expanding the team and we will take the C N A system into countries we havent yet explored."

Before joining C N A, Mark had a career in industrial and textile engineering. So what led him to buy a C N A franchise?

"I was running a large textile plant and a move to Sri Lanka was likely. I jumped ship three months before the inevitable announcement and joined C N A on 11 March 2002."

"I was surfing the net most Saturday mornings looking for my next career move and happened upon C N A. The key factor to join them was that it was structured like a partnership. The team is there when you need advice and assistance and the training is superb."

"I have now moved into my own offices and have a team of successful consultants. My advice to anyone starting their own business is to get a good bank manager, have a realistic business plan, network actively, open dedicated offices and hire employees as soon as you can."

Patrick Higgins joined C N A because he was looking for an ethical business opportunity in the 'white collar' sector.

Patrick explains "I had over 20 years experience in the high-tech environment in the both the US and UK, including five years as MD or a research and development company."

"I wanted to run my own business, but with the support of an established organisation. There is no doubt that a franchise reduces any start up risks, and after much research, I chose C N A because I had confidence in the people behind the organisation."

"I have received excellent support and training throughout every stage of my business development. The organisation is constantly evolving and developing new products and tools that contribute to the success of my business".

"C N A is an established organisation with a sound infrastructure and a rigorous selection process. Like any new venture, I had to work hard to penetrate new accounts, but by applying the C N A systems, I am reaping the rewards of running my own business."
