The following reviews are about our dedicated Theatre consultant Frennie

Working with Vanguard has been the best career choice I have made in a long time. Frennie, Maisie and their team have been nothing but easy to work with, kind and genuinely caring about me and my agency journey. I can't wait to start my next contract with them soon

Am currently on contract and have the most amazing backup. Frennie and Maisie have both been a joy to work with. I get regular phone calls making sure I'm ok and I know I can ask them anything and with no hesitation the girls follow up on it. I am very happy that they are in my corner. Thank you Frennie and Maisie
