“Tony from TRS has successfully assisted our FMCG business on a number of senior technical engagements at short notice. In particular I found his strengths to be around communication, responding at pace with relevant options leveraged from his broad professional network, and navigating effectively through ambiguity as at times he was working to a limited brief. I am grateful for the support Tony has provided our business and as such would highly recommend him as a technical solutions talent partner”Joanna – Recruitment Manager for large manufacturer within FMCG sector
