I must add that their performance and attitude has been excellent throughout, despite only being on a short term contract, and I would have no hesitation in asking them to return in the event that we require additional manning at any time in the future. Thanks for your help during recruitment. Best Regards, Steve Bostock Production Manager, Tata Hartlepool Works
