Don't take our word for it, see what others have to say.

Over the last few years the Wales and West regional rail signalling works portfolio has grown immensely and with that my Commercial department has grown to cope with the increase workload.

Mark Weaver of The Commercial Group approached me approximately 18 months ago, with the offer to support me in the recruitment of Commercial staff.

I discussed my requirements with Mark and he quickly sourced some CV’s with suitable candidates for the role.

I continue to work with Mark and I have recruited a number of roles at varying grades over the last 18 months via The Commercial Group.

Mark has always been honest with me, keeps in regular contact either via phone or in person.

I have had the pleasure to work with Mark on numerous occasions over the past few years in which he has always provided a complete and professional service not only personally but also corporately.

I have found Mark to be innovative in offering solutions, on one occasion working with me to provide a ‘resource pool’ of Quantity Surveying and Estimating professionals that allowed me to remain flexible when responding to client requirements.

Indeed I continue to work with Mark and often reach for his number when I am faced with challenging deadlines.

Mark was very proactive in finding the Commercial Manager to fulfil the role our company had in our project team. Mark was easy to work with and professionally went about his work locating suitable candidates for interview making the job of finding the right person very easy for us. I would recommend Mark as a go to recruitment consultant in any future requirements we have for other positions we have in our teams.

After ten years with another company, I was ready for a change and moving into contracting felt like the right next step. A trusted recommendation gave me the confidence to speak with Mark, and from the outset he listened carefully to what I wanted and only put me forward for the right opportunity.

The role and company were a perfect fit – a top-end, highly professional client and the only move I wanted to make. The process was smooth, fast and well-informed, with an interview one day and an offer the same evening, and Mark’s support didn’t stop there.

Even months into the role, I’ve always felt able to reach out with questions. He promised honesty, delivered exactly what he said he would, and provided the right encouragement when it mattered – something I’m genuinely grateful for.

I am thrilled to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Mark, an exceptional recruiter who consistently achieves outstanding results. Mark's exceptional communication skills, professionalism, and unwavering dedication truly set him apart. He has cultivated strong relationship with both myself and the hiring manager, resulting in a seamless and efficient recruitment process.

I was particularly impressed by Mark's deep understanding of my recent placement and his invaluable assistance throughout the entire process. His expertise and support made a significant impact, and I wholeheartedly endorse Mark for the pivotal role he has played.

Mark is a great recruiter who helped me sort my first freelance role!

Truly professional and also, even after the role was secured he keeps in touch checking and addressing any queries.

Highly recommended recruiter!!

Thank you very much Mark!

From the first conversation I had with Mark I knew that we would work well together.

He was honest and well informed about the roles he was recruiting for. He made the application process smooth and even provided some additional coaching for the interviews.

Great service from start to finish and I would highly recommend touching base with Mark if you are in the market for a new challenge.

I approached Mark on Linked In earlier this year when I was struggling to find a placement for my sandwich year of my Quantity Surveying degree at Nottingham Trent.

Mark offered to put a post on Linked In to help my search and as a result of that he was able to put me in touch with a local company and now I have been offered the perfect placement with an amazing company and a far better opportunity than I could have found myself.

I know Mark wasn't paid for this too which is even more fantastic. Thanks again Mark!!

When I found myself in a position where I could potentially be out of a job in a few months due to unforeseen circumstances with my current employer at the time, I started to interview with a few different recruiters to start looking for my next move.

I spoke with quite a few recruiters with some exciting opportunities however Mark was the clear choice for me. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the commercial recruitment requirements at the time especially within the freelance world, and he took the time to really understand my needs.

He also had a great track record of success, and he was confident that he could help me find the perfect job.

I'm so glad that I chose Mark to help me with my job search. He is an invaluable resource, and he made the entire process much easier than I expected. He was and is always available to answer my questions, and he took the time to really get to know me and my career goals.

I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a top-notch commercial recruiter. He is a true professional, and he will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect job.

Mark facilitated my engagement with Enable Infrastructure. He is a patient recruitment consultant who listens to your requirements and acts accordingly. He has been calm and helpful throughout my change from PAYE to freelance consultant and was able to find me an excellent position. I highly recommend him.

Mark was instrumental in securing my current role. He ensured that I was always kept up to speed on any developments throughout the process and offered advice at every stage.

In what ended up being a long recruitment process, Through regular check ins and always being available, Mark made it as easy as possible for me.

I would definitely recommend Mark. He helped me to find my current role, supported me through the process and even helped me prep for the interview! Thank you and I love my current job!

I couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough, he has been absolutely fantastic throughout the process of finding me a new role.

Mark is so easy to talk to, nothing is too much trouble and I have complete trust in him, he makes me feel like I’ve known him forever. Even after the role has been secured Mark is still around checking in, helping with any queries and making sure payments are running smoothly.

A real breath of fresh air.

Thanks again Mark 😊

I dealt with Mark in early 2021 when he was representing the company who are now my current employer.

I found Mark to be VERY different to other recruit consultants in that he fully understood what his client was looking for and it became apparent quite quickly that he understood commercial management roles. He also understood the skillsets of commercial candidates and how they would meet the clients requirements. I think this is the result of a combination of Mark's diligence, experience and also focussed specialism of commercial roles.Mark was a pleasure to deal with, always very personable and professional.

I would absolutely consider using Mark's services in the future from a recruitment perspective but also from my own perspective in the event that I look at other opportunities.

Mark was very proactive in finding a role for me after a live project was postponed due to the oil price crash. Mark was easy to work with and professionally went about his work. My skill set was transferable and Mark successfully got this message over to clients which has led to a long term contract. I would recommend Mark as a recruitment consultant.

Mark is a reliable and focused professional that helped me to find a year contract without interview and in a short period of time within a large organization.

Mark was an exemplar liaison, providing a professional service and working as efficiently as possible to ensure the placement took place. As ongoing support he is always happy to help and is proactive in seeking feedback and ensuring that he’s providing the best service possible.

Mark is a joy to work with and an example of fast, reliable and quality services. Thank you Mark.

I recently applied for the role of Estimator with Aggregate Industries working under their surfacing division, Spadeoak. Mark got in touch as Spadeoak had expressed interest in my application. Mark was extremely polite and helpful in explaining who Spadeoak are and what they do, what they’re looking for from their applicants and the process moving forward.

He regularly kept me up to date with Spadeoak’s decisions on my application, promptly arranged interviews and let me know the outcome almost immediately.

My application with Spadeoak was successful and I owe it to Mark for providing me with great advice and boosting my confidence, as I had been out of work for some time due to the Covid pandemic.

A very professional and friendly service which helped me to achieve what I hope will be a long and successful career with Spadeoak.
