Lee Barrett – Assistant Principal – Kidderminster College

“FEA, and in particular Amanda, were amazing throughout the recruitment process. A fresh and modern approach to recruitment in the sector. This is the first company I have worked with who provide exactly what they promise: a person-centred approach to candidates, regular and highly effective communication, honest advice, guidance and support, whilst ensuring professional integrity is their top priority. I could not recommend them enough!”

Sallyanne Pearson – Director of Governance – Bishop Burton College

“As a Director of Governance, I found the communication, advice and support received from FE Associates during its recruitment search for our next Principal and Chief Executive to be really valuable. As a believer that ‘detail matters’, I cannot fault the team who answered each and every query I raised in recognition of the role all governance professionals have in supporting the Corporation and its members as well as the college as a whole.”
