Since taking early retirement I found myself a little bored at home , I applied to Pathfinder which I must say was a really easy process Sean was brilliant with a telephone interview after an health and safety induction I was up and running on a RORO . Two years later I’ve been offered a variety of work from RORO , Cruise parking , baggage and Car moves etc Terri and Keeley in allocations are very approachable and you can easily contact them with days you want to work. All in all a good place to work meeting some interesting characters .

I have been working for Pathfinder at the Liverpool Cruise Terminal since the beginning of the 2018 cruise season. So far I have found them to be a very professional company with excellent communication with their staff regarding notification of work, start times etc. The management are respectful of those in their employment and the workforce are a great bunch of people. I look forward to my continued employment with Pathfinder. Kind Regards Ross Ferguson

I have been with Pathfinder in Southampton since the New Year. I don't need to be working every day but have had work when I have wanted it. From the day I first phoned to enquire about work I have found it to be a really positive experience. The induction and the training cannot cover every little facet but I have found they are very receptive to… positive feedback. But the fact that I found few surprises is the best proof of how well I was informed by the personnel people. I have found the same with the allocations office - I am told accurately enough so I know what food to bring and what

Brilliant agency to work for. I signed up and before I knew it I was working and earning money, everyone was so helpful and kind and very efficient. Because of life at home, I need to be flexible with work. Thanks to Pathfinder, I can work when it suits me.
