"Every time we have phoned to cover shifts, the staff sent have been fantastic and we have had excellent reports from our own staff. I cannot fault the service that Barker Ross have provided to us". 

Becky, Grantham

"I have been liaising with Barker Ross for some time now over the night cover for my unit. My account manager has provided consistent cover for the requests that I have made and they have always got back to me very quickly. Barker Ross are very efficient and they will periodically send me emails with the plans for shift cover and clarify that the hours are still correct. I have made some requests at very short notice and they have always managed to find cover.  I have been very pleased with the services provided from Barker Ross and the staff that have been allocated to us".

Alison, Nottingham
