Tony Steele
Interim Programme Director

"Paul was instrumental in helping me make the successful transition from employed to self-employed and I have never looked back. Those first steps into the world of interim employment are always the most tentative and having Paul there to guide and support me was invaluable. I have definitely benefited from Paul's vast experience in this complex landscape and during these past few years Paul has always made himself available when I needed him.

Thank you Paul for all of your help and guidance."

Paul is hands-on and has always been available when I needed his support. I have found his advice to be honest and knowledgeable, and would happily recommend Exceptional People's services for Executive-level appointments."

Keith Nelson
Group Commercial Finance Director - N Brown Group

"I have been delighted by the service provided by Exceptional People. They supported us from the beginning in recruiting skilled resource to work on the Business Transformation Program.

Paul was extremely quick to respond to our requests, took great care to understand both our technical needs and the culture of the organisations. As a result Exceptional People had a very high hit rate in providing great candidates."

Exceptional People provides properly vetted, highly trained contractors for both short or long-term assignments. Our contractors are assessed against IR35 and from 2022 our we will fully mitigate* our clients' tax risk associated with using newly hired contractors.

Our aim is to offer at least the same level of capability as those offered by the tier-one consultancies, but at a far lower cost. When we say the same level of skills we mean it; many of our contractors have worked for the same tier-one consultancies and systems integrators. If not they will have a track-record of consistently delivering excellence in their field.

Our contractors often have broader experience than those offered by the very best consultancies and, as we aren't tied to a single resource pool, we can give you more choice and a greater proportion of A-team players than any consultancy.

We commit to providing exceptionally talented, great value people that you manage within your operating framework and budget. That is why Exceptional People's clients are always in control.

If you feel you would benefit from a discussion about how to hire the best people then don’t hesitate to reach out, on LinkedIn, to our MD Paul Belton to have a discussion.
