Grace and the team at Uptown have provided an excellent professional service at all times. Since joining two years ago I have always had assignments that have been not only local but enjoyable and well suited to my skill set. I have now gone from temp to perm in a great job and cannot thank uptown enough for their support. All the best

I lost my first job "virginity" to Uptown Appointments back in the mid 1990s after having recently moved to London and the fact that they're still in business in 2019 is a HUGE testament to their success! There are not many companies I can count that have been in business that long (almost 35 years as of today's date), let alone a little ol' temp employment agency in my previously adopted town of Walthamstow. As a current program management professional at a global tech firm in New York City, I'm proud to trace my roots back to Uptown Appointments in little ol' E17 and owe them all my success in my professional adult life. Uptown Appointment's commitment to constantly keep me working back in those days was a true inspiration to me to stay available for work even on days (and some weekends) when most of my peers would opt to stay home. I can proudly recall the jolt of energy I would experience every time I received a call from the lovely Donna (who's obviously not there anymore) every Monday about a job assignment commencing the following Tuesday. Even at that young age, I remember thinking to myself that no matter where the weekend takes me, I must always be on stand-by to receive a call and must never engage in any unprofessional behavior at a client site due to the fact that I was representing Uptown Appointments at every assignment. My constant attitude towards all my appointments paid off really well because I constantly got called almost every week and that is what has, to this day, instilled in me the value of work. I remember thinking to myself that it's not what you can get from an appointment but it's what you can bring to the appointment. If you focus on what you deliver to the client, everything you want will come in short order. This has carried over to my current professional life at my current company where the mantra remains; if you focus all your efforts on your customer (in my case, my product's users), all else will fall right into its proper place and you will be rewarded handsomely. Thank you Uptown Appointments for all the opportunities and life lessons you provided me at a time when I thought all I was getting from you for my time what a weekly pay check. I owe my entire work ethic to you all. And a very special thanks to Cindy Longman for her vision and stewardship since launching back in 1984! I would highly recommend Uptown Appointment to anyone, whether just starting out or a recent retiree. Working with the team at Uptown Appointments will most certainly provide you with more than just work opportunities as they will always do their level best to keep you working. And as long as you maintain a positive attitude, there's no reason why you won't keep getting assignments.

I have nothing but good things to say about this agency. They are extremely helpful and approachable, and Ive had nothing but good experiences with them. Grace especially has always been super friendly and has always taken great care of me! Would definitely recommend them!

Uptown have been great for me. They found me positions suitable for my needs and wants; these allowed me to use my skills for the benefit of both companies employing me and myself. Uptown, and Grace in particular, have always been on hand and approachable to deal with any questions, plus payments always came in on time.
