Leg– ends !

I would really like to thank you and your team for all your fantastic support over the years. I could not have wished for a more professional team to support our operations here in Hamburg. The lads have been fantastic in every way, always on time, staying till the jobs done. What more could I ask for. Obviously the duo of Simon & Max are widely known as legends here amongst the flight line teams. As for yourself John, I really appreciate your hard work to ensure the team are here on site when requested, regardless of where in the world they are. I wish you all the very best in the future.

Again, thanks for everything.

​I have worked with MPI Limited for 2 years in the Rail Sector and in this time I have been thoroughly happy with the support I have been given. In particular, I find their approach to be incredibly personal, taking the time to understand individual needs and preferences. Any questions or queries are answered and resolved in a timely manner, and I find their processes with regards to payroll and contract renewals very succinct and easily understandable. I would happily recommend MPI Limited to anyone wishing to work through an agency and establish a foothold in the Rail
Sector. I believe I have developed a great partnership with the company and they have helped to me to develop and work towards achieving my career ambitions.
