An important factor to take account of when working with a consultancy on any aspect of business is experience. REP has been serving the industry for more than 30 years. We are not a generalist, multi sector, practice. We just deal with the motor and related industries.

REP key personnel have held senior positions in the industry and have a genuine understanding of the issues involved. 

All assignments and all candidates are treated equally seriously and confidentially. We want to know our clients and really understand their requirements.

When a candidate registers with REP we speak with them to understand their aspirations and experience. We never send out CV’s to a client without discussing the opportunity with the candidate first.

We don’t reveal our clients without their permission. We try to get a genuine understanding of the role to help to select the best candidates. REP do not approach candidates that we have placed with clients.
