Something about myself
My biggest fear is flying, yet my favorite thing is going on holiday.

Burman are an excellent agency, and I'm glad to be working with them. My agent is Harry Attwell who has been amazing. He first contacted me some time ago when he took time to get to know me and to understand my skill set. He wasn't able to place me then, and in that situation some agents would have moved on and forgotten me - but not Harry. He kept in touch and we were both delighted when it eventually came together and he secured me my current role.
He was helpful and attentive throughout the interview and onboarding process and has kept in touch throughout the placement to check all is going well. Always professional, while being personable and friendly, I know he really cares. I hope to continue to work with him in the future.
