Results that speak for themselves…

“Carro Recruitment has worked with Flo for the last couple of years and I have enjoyed this journey with them. I am far from being their biggest client but they treat me as though I am with all the support and guidance, and most of all the trust they give me which has helped me grow to achieving the results I never dreamed I would. The back office and funding support has been like having my own team and I am excited about working with you moving forward.”

Matthew Lowman

Director, Carro Recruitment
“As a start-up, finding the right CRM partner was critical for us – and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From day one, the team at Flo have gone above and beyond to support us, providing a system that is not only incredibly user-friendly but also packed with all the functionality we need to run efficiently.

The CRM has streamlined every aspect of our operation and having everything in one place has saved us time, reduced errors, and allowed us to focus on growing our business with confidence.

What truly sets them apart is their constant support – no query is too small, and their responsiveness and willingness to help has made a huge difference in our early growth. We genuinely see them as a partner in our success, not just a service provider. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Charlie Shepherd

Director / SHD Recruitment
“As a smaller independent I was impressed by the care and attention the Flo management and the customers care team offer. We were not just treated as a number but as a valued customer. I have often asked for advice and assistance on the systems and Flo always offers fantastic customer experience and support.”

Elle-Louise Tucker

Zoom Recruitment
“Flo offered a one-stop shop for all my business needs from end-to-end recruitment software to payroll, back office, and funding. What this has enabled me to do is focus on those things that really add value to my business such as developing a great pool of quality candidates and working closely with my clients to support their requirements, often at short notice. Working with Flo has helped to reduce my admin time significantly which has made a really positive impact on my agency.”

Nassar Zafar

Director at SC Civils and Construction Ltd
“I would highly recommend Flo to any company who needs to install a database that covers everything from a work plan to full payroll download. It is simple to use, easy to access from outside of the office and the help and support is superb. Flo is the solution for simplicity in a database and holding information safely.”

Lorraine Webster

Advanced Logistics Recruitment
“We’ve been with Flo Group since 2020, and without a doubt, they’ve been instrumental to our growth journey. From day one, they brought structure, professionalism, and a real partnership approach. With their software, we were able to eliminate many manual processes and build solid compliance into our daily operations. The back office team took the pressure off with administration and payroll support, letting our team focus on growth and client delivery. And Cashflo gave us the working capital and confidence to take on larger contracts without worrying about invoice cycles. But it’s not just the services – it’s the people. The Flo team genuinely cares.”

Lee Stothard
