Contractor Testimonial
” I have felt very well catered for when it has come to both flight and accommodation needs, especially as I am fully aware that my own requests in this area could be challenging.
Such things as pay, NSFF and immigration has been a breeze due to both the local knowledge and the due diligence the local partners have applied. Normally a contentious issue, yet here it passed without fault or difficulties on every occasion. The team I feel have not only delivered but have stepped up to ensure that I have not been left alone and the social interaction has also been appreciated. Credit must go to Collins, Rachel and Marion for embracing that and not forgetting the larger team behind the scenes with Joanne and Nina.
This is my first agency and venture into the O&G industry, having listened to others on the project and the issues they have encountered with their agencies, I am grateful that I was assigned WRS/WQS from the off. WRS/WQS have set a high standard which will be difficult to be emulated by other agencies, I am sure.
Whilst I move on voluntarily, I aim to stay in touch bother personally and professionally with the staff and WRS/ WQS will be my first port of call when looking for future employment. Such was their competence and efficiency I hope to be represented by them again in due course.”
