12. Testimonial – Fujitsu “ In March 2008 Lorien were awarded PSL status and joined one other supplier in delivering permanent and contract resource across all of our divisions. In that time the dedicated account team have placed in excess of 800 individuals with us. They have achieved this through the time they have taken to understand our business and processes and through their own recruitment expertise. In light of this exceptional performance Lorien have twice been awarded Fujitsu Gold Supplier status – recognising them throughout our organisation as a supplier who help us achieve our own objectives through delivering an excellent service.” Martin Coulton, Senior Sourcing Manager, Fujitsu

13. Testimonial – Swinton “ Lorien has been a preferred supplier for the provision of permanent IT staff to Swinton Insurance for over 7 years. Throughout this time I have always been highly impressed with the level of service offered, to such an extent that Lorien's dominance of our IT recruitment has resulted in them attaining Exclusive supplier status over their competitors in the last 2 years. The level of commitment and professionalism demonstrated by all of Lorien's staff has consistently been of a very high standard and I have always found them to be an organisation ready to go the extra mile to find the right candidate, even on the most demanding of roles. Over the years Swinton has tested Lorien's ability to supply a wide variety of IT staff and they've proven able to source skills across the complete IT spectrum time and again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lorien to another organisation seeking a professional and responsive service from an IT recruitment supplier. Lorien has a long-standing history of dealing with Swinton in a relationship, which was formalised upon their appointment to the PSL in 2000.” HR Director, Swinton Insurance

14. Testimonial – Cable&Wireless Worldwide “ Providing a great service to our customers is our number one priority and we understand that this is delivered by our people and not just by whizzy technology. It's our people who set us apart - they understand our customers' environments and work with colleagues to deliver what our customers want, in the way they want it. This means our recruitment process is key to identifying great people to join our company. In 2007, Lorien was awarded the RPO contract to provide contract and permanent recruitment services across Cable&Wireless. The key deliverable within this contract was the supply of superior candidates across all areas of the business. This has been achieved through the implementation of technology solutions to aid best practice recruitment procedures, development and organisation of talent management strategies and full vendor management. Each stage of this implementation has been driven and fully supported by our on-site team from Lorien. We're putting all our energy into ensuring our people can do their jobs well; we're creating a company where people aspire to be and where colleagues love to work.” HR Director, Cable&Wireless Worldwide
