Candidate Testimonials

My time at CP? Unbelievable! The management feel like a home away from home! The clientele and staff that we work for/with are always friendly, always welcoming and always ready to have an easy and steady shift! The CP management is like something out of a flipping dream!!!! Never in my life have I worked for a company that felt so homely! Every time I see Paul, Dave, Amy or Jenna they always give me a smile and a wave (sometimes a little nudge for being late lol). CP is a company that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Chardelle, Leeds

When starting at CP I had never done bar work before and didn't have the slightest clue on what I was doing but after a few shifts with CP I managed to get the hang of it. Stuff like how to pour a pint was a breeze and remembering long orders became second nature. To the point where I even begun teaching other people how to do it. Now 8 months later I'm still working with CP and travelling to different cities each week all whilst meeting new people. Everyone at CP is fun to be around and very welcoming and if you ever have a problem, you know one of the bosses has got your back :)
