Great interaction with the recruitment consultant in charge of the contractors provided by MPI to us. Any issues there is swift and professional communication either by email or phone. Equally quick response to any queries from line managers or the contractors themselves.

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.
