Client
As a school we have been using Apex for 6 months now; after working with various agents over the years it is a pleasure to have Apex working with us. They really understand the needs of our students, take time to come into school to be part of our extended school life and feel this has really enhanced the service and quality of staff they are offering to us as a school. The costs are extremely good also. Karen and Christie are doing a fantastic job and are always available, morning noon and night; we will continue to work in partnership with them.
