Working with Perry Bishop: Quotes from our Team
“After a lifetime in International medical sales, I was yearning to find a career where I felt I was truly making a difference to people’s lives. I started at Perry Bishop on a week’s work experience – and that was seven years ago. Team spirit is strong, the directors are approachable and the competitive ethos is fun rather than fearful” Gerry
“Having just relocated from Wimbledon, after 17 years in the business, I truly feel I have come home working for Perry Bishop…not only are the team I am lucky enough to work alongside amazing, but each and every office have colleagues that not only go the extra mile for their clients…but each other.. If you have the opportunity to work here…you will be delighted you did, honestly” Cathy
“I joined to cover a maternity leave on my return from living abroad for a few years – and am still with the company nearly 12 years later! A great team to work with” Katie
“Being made redundant during Covid after 32 years with my previous employer, I was offered a temporary position in the Accounts Office of Perry Bishop. Bearing in mind I had not worked in Accounts for the previous 8 years, I had very little confidence in my abilities at the time, but Perry Bishop took a chance on me. I was so thrilled when they offered me a permanent position and I can honestly say, I have fallen on my feet with this company. All of my colleagues are friendly and helpful and the Directors are all approachable and encouraging. It is so lovely to look forward to coming to work each day” Jayne
