During my time at QE Facilities Limited, Helen and her dedicated team provided me with much needed recruitment solutions, particularly but not limited to the Covid pandemic period, which enabled me to provide the high quality services to my clients at a time of high demand and uncertainty. The temporary to permanent recruitment solutions offer by Helen were second to none, with high quality, high performing staff at every level provided. These were delivered at short notice but with full compliance to the necessary audit and business standards we demanded. Helen took time to understand the ethos of our business and provided the right candidates each time to match our changing operations. I would not hesitate to fully recommend Helen and her wider business team to provide you with solutions to any recruitment need you may have.

TaskMaster came to us via the assistance they had offered another site within the Group. Being an ex-consultant, I am unforgiving with my approach to agencies and demand a certain way of working at all times. Having spoken to Gareth and subsequently met with Neil, I was immediately impressed by their honest, no nonsense approach to their clients. Our relationship works well through its basis of direct and efficient communication. This, coupled with their ability to fill bookings with strong, dependable drivers has now put TaskMaster as the preferred agency for my operation. I’d have no issue with recommending TaskMaster to colleagues within the industry, in a short space of time, they have proven themselves to be an excellent support service to myself and my team.

- Position Ops Excellence & Continuous Improvement Lead, Wincanton
Working on a contract with volatile volumes provides it’s challenges, but TM Onsite was always innovative and forthcoming with ideas on how to combat some of the issues faced, working hard on retention and not just focussing on short term goals. With his experience and dedication Mark McCawley and his team were able to supply and work alongside us as a partner rather than just an agency provider. We worked together throughout the pandemic where we all had to adapt, this was taken in the team's stride and at this point we had switched to sole supplier to TM On-site. Mark and his team showed a proactive approach, implementing procedures and systems to add value to our organisation, always available outside of normal working hours to assist with incidents that occurred whether on an early morning or a night shift. Mark always offered honest insight and worked hard to understand our business needs from the off, suggesting effective workings that could benefit the operation, as well as health and safety & security for site.

Our Wigan site within Agrial Fresh Produce UK has worked with Taskmaster for over 13 years and we have established a strong working relationship with the team over the years. The Taskmaster team have been a reliable, proactive thinking and committed labour provider to us. We have always been able to be open and honest with them and they are always focused on our short and long term recruitment needs. Throughout the years we have had many fluctuations in our requirements, sometimes at short notice and they always do everything within their power, to support our flexible labour needs. The team stability has really added value throughout the years and knowledge that the team have of our business and our site is great asset to our Company.

- Position ICS Provider Procurement Director
In April 2007, Taskmaster emerged from a host of recruitment businesses to be awarded a sole supply agreement to supply the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust with temporary staff for non-clinical staff. Subsequent to this, Taskmaster has been awarded further contract renewals to present. They have consistently delivered in terms of professionalism and reliability in the course of our ever changing landscape of temporary staffing requirements, which has often extended to over 500 per day.
The Taskmaster team has developed a sound understanding of our business and mode of operation and in doing so has satisfied the needs of our large trust. Because of their progressive working practise, Taskmaster is now recognised as an extension of our recruitment process, and at this time I can see no reason why this would not be maintained well into the future.
From a cost perspective, Taskmaster have been market tested and offered best value for our Trust.
I am extremely satisfied with the service, response times, fill-rate and follow-ups provided by the Taskmaster management team and their consultants. The calibre of staff supplied remained consistently high throughout the duration of the contracts and the retention rate is exemplary.
In conclusion I would, without hesitation, recommend Taskmaster to any organisation seeking a temporary staffing solution

- Position Deputy Director
Bradford District Care Foundation Trust has used Taskmaster for the provision of admin and clerical roles since December 2013. During that time Taskmaster we have forged an excellent partnership with them. Taskmaster has always provided an excellent service, they are very customer focused and responsive to the changing needs of the Trust. The staff provided by Taskmaster are of a very high calibre (skills, experience and motivation) and the feedback from managers has always been very positive.
In addition to the above – Taskmaster have delivered a 100 percent fill for staff in agenda for change pay bands 1 to 8 and helped the trust reduce its agency spend. The margins are lower than our previous provider and workers are usually appointed at the bottom on the band. To date we have had no complaints about the staff or service provided by Taskmaster

One of the first things I would say about the service received from Taskmaster is the high calibre of candidates they send across. We use 3.5 tonne van drivers and have been so impressed with a number of the temporary drivers they have provided that many have gone on to be offered permanent jobs with us and are still working for us now. As a client I also feel they offer good value for money In terms of charge rates when compared to other agencies.
I have only positive things to say about Taskmaster.
