Horizon agency is one of the best agencies I've come across. I signed up late March and by early June, Dan from the primary team had found me a job.

He's been extremely helpful in giving me all the right information needed, easy to contact if I do have any queries and all-round positive nature.

I would definitely recommend the agency as a whole because of how quick and efficient they are. I'm really happy where I am, and I have Horizon to thank!
