Stephen Beagent Associates' celebrates over 10 years in business

Stephen Beagent Associates has spent over 10 years placing accountancy professionals across the Thames Valley. We opened for business on the 7th April 1997 and 10 years later we are still going from strength to strength. Our philosophy is simple, to provide a superior recruitment service by developing more personal, long-term relationships with our clients and candidates and exceeding their expectations, but you don't have to take our word for it, see what our customers have to say.
