I wouldn't hesitate to use Arden White again
During my time as a contractor in Motorsport, Craig and Arden White were fantastic, all the information was laid out for me, communication was great, even if I had questions on a weekend, I was paid accurately and on time, no complaints at all.

From initial contact through to interview set-ups, everything has been very sleek. And following on, Craig has been very quick and concise (albeit with an element of humour).

All interviews were arranged for me and I was kept well in formed throughout the process. My pay rate was negotiated, along with all details necessary to receive payment.
Craig offered great support and advice during the interview process
After I was made redundant from my old job I applied for a job trough Arden White. Craig Plendy got in touch with me the next day and we had a chat about the job and why I believe I'm a good candidate for the role. Within 2 weeks I had a job offer on the table.

Always felt like I could speak to you, and after a placement didn't go as well as we hoped, you guys helped out finding me a new opportunity within a couple of weeks after our conversation which placed me at a dream job

Arden White is an amazing agency
They were extremely supportive as I took my first steps into contracting and have been there at the end of the phone every time I need them. Any query I have is answered extremely quickly and they are not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very down-to-earth and friendly. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
Thank you so much for getting me my dream job in F1
I’ve never worked with an agency who are as friendly, professional, and honest as you. For anybody who is looking to change job and needs help from a recruitment company that genuinely cares, give the team at Arden White a call.
I had the pleasure of working with Craig, a recruiter who truly stands out in his field
From our very first conversation, it was evident that Craig was not just interested in filling positions, but genuinely invested in understanding my career goals and aspirations. He took the time to listen to my experiences and provided valuable insights that helped me refine my CV and tailor my job search strategy. What impressed me the most was his personalised approach. He would check in regularly, offering encouragement and guidance throughout the entire process.
Craig's network and industry knowledge were instrumental in connecting me with opportunities that aligned perfectly with my skills and interests. Thanks to Craig, I secured a job that In the motorsport / F1 industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a supportive and effective recruiter; his commitment to his clients is unparalleled, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on my career journey.
Put simply, Craig has, genuinely, been by far the best recruiter I have dealt with
I could say this solely based on his knowledge and experience of recruitment, but something to stand out with Craig is his genuine interest in, and awareness of, the candidate's perspective. This was evident in his clear, consistent and meaningful communication combined with his personable approach and professional integrity.
I would highly recommend Craig to anybody who needs a recruiter, particularly if you want it done well!!
He was incredibly supportive and approachable, and he never made me feel my questions were unnecessary
As someone completely new to freelancing, I was initially hesitant due to the many unknown aspects of getting set up. However, Craig was there every step of the way to help guide me through the process. He took the time to chat through any (and all) questions I had and offered clear, practical advice that made everything much easier to understand. His guidance was invaluable in helping me navigate the challenges of freelancing, and I truly appreciated the support and reassurance he provided during this transition in my career.
When I come back in UK you are the first person I will call
It was a pleasure working with you through good and bad, some companies are not as they said they are and some people don't care for foreign employees but it's not your fault or mine people are different, but all is good between us, everything you said about the wages and the interview's was spot on. You probably know this better then anyone when I say ...if a company constantly recruit people something is wrong there...
I already recommend you in particular to a few of my good friends who are extraordinary machinists and CNC Programmers as myself.
I wish you all the best and I know you are a good person, keep up the good work you are doing a great job.
I can say with confidence that you are one of the best recruiters that I have worked with
The testimony to this is that I chose to work with you, not just with one role, but two.
Both times you delivered not only great communication, but you understood my skillset and how to present that. Your role of recruiter went beyond the actual recruitment, and were there to talk to me beyond the placement.
I appreciate you, and the help you have provided in my own career development.
I can't thank you enough for the help
I can honestly say, being approached by yourself marked a turning point in my career. Though working in Formula One had always been a dream, I was always hesitant to admit it was an aspiration, as it just seemed unattainable.
Your approach, support and belief really made me feel like it was achievable. I felt buoyed by the previous success stories, and the energy you had for my application. Knowing the agency specialized in such workplaces gave me extra confidence.
From CV prep, to organizing interviews, to phone calls calming the nerves before going through the door. Complete with courtesy calls to check up thereafter; I can happily say the service was exemplary. It opened doors I was nervous to even knock on, and started a new chapter of my life.
I have been employed as a graduate mechanical design engineer for over 35 years, mainly within motorsport and other high-tech industries. The majority of these 20+ roles were on a contract basis sourced through numerous recruitment agencies. My last position was brought to my attention by Mr Craig Plendy of Arden White. This role was an excellent match to my CV skillset, the required salary/hourly rate & the preferred commuting distance (as defined on CV Library/Jobsite etc.)
I was very impressed with the entirety of the service supplied by Mr Plendy. The HR recruitment process for this F1 motorsport role was extremely protracted, requiring the sourcing of an extensive array of supporting documentation & other information. During this initial assessment period Mr Plendy kept me regularly informed on progress, chased up their HR department and generally kept me in a positive state of mind regarding the position. This support continued throughout the two years of the contract duration.
It has to be said, that this high level of professionalism, progress feedback & support are not qualities that I have experienced often from the numerous recruitment agencies that I have interacted with over the years. Therefore, I would not hesitate in recommending the services of Mr Craig Plendy and Arden White to any future jobseeker.
You did more than just find a contract and negotiate me a ludicrously good rate — you turbocharged my career into a whole new stratosphere
Hi Craig,
You didn’t just place me at a top F1 team in Milton Keynes; you set me up with a deal so good it launched me straight into the elite club of the Top 1% of earners in the UK.
Thats not all, one of the proudest moments of my life — etched in my memory forever — was when, someone special, kindly declared me the “Wolf of Brackley” because of it. A title born from a moment I’ll never forget.
In a single, perfectly timed move, you created the “Wolf of Brackley.” One call, one decision — and everything changed. The rest is, history... None of this would exist without your work.
Thanks Craig
He will continue to be one of our top Tier 1 Recruitment Agencies and we look forward to working with him for the foreseeable future
I have worked with Craig Plendy at Arden White for approximately three years and he has successfully placed some CNC Machinists at our Leicester Facility. We are a manufacturer of components for aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets. Craig has gone a long way in helping us to recruit the best talent in a Manufacturing and Aerospace industry where relevant knowledge and skills are difficult to find.
He e is extremely thorough in his pre-screening activities and is not just fixed on placing candidates, he is empathetic, caring and honest and only sends candidates with the right skill set that fit our needs and will always give me constructive feedback.
The service that we have received from him has been exceptional and we have been pleased with the quality of candidates that have been sent over and the speed of his response. Craig is extremely communicative and always remain flexible around our business and recruitment needs.
I would highly recommend Craig as a recruiter to find a perfect match fitting your needs and requirements
Craig will absolutely do his best to meet your expectations and desires in a very friendly manner. As a person, he is down to earth and approachable and available at any time of the day. I had a great experience with Craig during the recruitment process, he could see the potential I had for the role, I have now been in place for a decade, and I’ve not looked back since. Thanks Craig.
Michael recruited me to work for Arden White and was an absolute pleasure to work with
He guided me through the interview process for the job and helped me throughout my time at the Formula 1 client. Michael was always eager to help - I could contact him with any queries I had and was guaranteed a fast and helpful response. I am really grateful to him for recruiting me for the job and even though my contract has now finished, if the opportunity were to arise, I would be very happy to work with him again.
Working with Arden White was an exceptional experience
The company and its staff are outstanding. Whenever I had a question or needed advice, they always provided prompt and professional responses. Their responsiveness was remarkable—I consistently received replies on the same day. Arden White truly stands out as a fantastic organization, and I would be delighted to work with them again in the future. A superb company!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Craig and his colleagues. No doubt a market leader in what they do
As Head of Operations at Forward Composites I selected Craigs agency to be one of the limited number of skilled contract labour providers we worked with. From the first time I met Craig I was hugely impressed with his professionalism and his willingness to understand the specific needs of our business and how he could best provide the service we specifically required. At all times during the period I worked with Craig he did his very best to meet our needs and he would simply do all within his power to achieve this.
I found Craig operated slightly differently to a lot of people I have worked with in the industry, he always took the time to ensure that new recruits were settled and adding value to the business, he also kept in regular contact with the staff he had placed to ensure that they were content. I found this to be a breath of fresh air and a first class way of operating.
Craig’s industry knowledge and expertise ensures that all candidates are of the experience and quality that we would expect to maintain our standards, the highest in the industry
Craig has been handling the account since I took over here as Operations Manager. Whatever the hour he is always at the end of the phone, diligent, proactive and always willing to go the extra mile to facilitate our business needs.
I have nothing but great things to say about Arden White
From the very start Rob and his team gave me a very personal and individual experience. I took my first venture into contracting through Arden White, I was given all the help and assistance required from the start and throughout my time as a contractor. Rob was always on hand to answer any questions and resolve any issues.
After 3 years with Arden White, I was fortunate enough to have my contract role turn permanent. I have a large part to thank Rob for getting me to where I am now. I would highly recommend Arden White to anyone due to their completely unique experience, having dealt with many recruitment firms I can safely say that Rob and the team are the best I have had the pleasure of dealing with.
