The carers employed by this care agency are without any doubt some of the very best in the care industry today. There is an awesome balance of professionalism and genuine care and support from the carers and management at KTG. Fantastic, thank you I am so happy”.

I cannot fault any aspect of the service you have provided so far.
You have been attentive, communicative, and very helpful. I have always found you professional in my dealings with you and you tend to go the ‘extra mile’ with helping to formulate a job specification.
The candidate put forward is absolutely perfect, which again shows you have really listened to my request and what GS needs from this position.
Your rates are also competitive, which is very important to a family business such as ourselves.
Thank you,
