The team at Morgan Parkes Recruitment have chosen two charities to support this year, and are planning to assist at various events to help both charities to achieve their fundraising goals…
Molly Ollys Wishes
Molly Olly’s Wishes was founded in 2011 by Rachel and Tim Ollerenshaw. Their daughter Molly Ollerenshaw was diagnosed aged 3 with a Wilms tumour and despite a long and brave 5 year fight, died in 2011.
They spent a large part of those years in and out of hospital and soon realised that many of the patients they met did not have the emotional or financial support that they had for Molly and her siblings. Molly wanted to help these children and so Molly Olly’s Wishes was born. Molly Olly’s Wishes supports children aged 0-18 with terminal or life threatening illnesses and their families to help with their emotional wellbeing.
Molly Olly’s Wishes have developed a therapeutic toy lion, Olly The Brave, and book, ‘Olly The Brave And The Wigglys’, to help children’s emotional well-being by explaining, in a simple child-friendly way, the start of their treatment journey. These are donated to hospitals and individuals around the U.K.
They also grant individual wishes to children. This may be in the form of equipment, to help a child with day to day living with their condition, it may be an alternative therapy treatment to compliment traditional medicine, or a special occasion for a child that would otherwise be isolated from everyday events due to the restrictions of their illness.

Marie Mills2024-05-21I was looking for 'a' job after 17 years of dedication at a company that i had once loved. I was feeling disheartened when I approached bonny at parkes and even before I started my next job search, bonny helped me reconnect with myself and everything that will be important in my next role. She turned my approach into such a positive and helped me find a job that im going to feel happy going too each morning. This is an exciting time for me now....I start my new job on 17th June, thanks to bonny and Lindseys help, I got offered the job 10 minutes after my interview whoooh.

essem bee2024-03-14Never dealt with an agency which is as efficient as Morgan Parkes. Reliable efficient and good communication. They kept in touch and even though I became permanent with the company and not with Morgan Parkes they still rang and asked how things were and to top it off they sent chocolates on Xmas 6 months after leaving the agency . I would recommend anyone to them. Keep up the good workTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Emma Clarke2024-03-10Bonny has been amazing and has supported me all the way through my application and interview process. She talked me through what to expect from my interview, which made a huge difference as I'm usually very nervous in that situation. Knowing what to expect and preparing accordingly made it a lot less daunting! And now I'm looking forward to starting my new job! Thanks Bonny for all your help and support, I appreciate it more than you know. And I can't wait to start a new chapter in my working life!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Humayun Modi2024-02-15Bonny is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Takes her time to understand who you are, what motivates you, what your skills are and where you see your career heading. It’s very refreshing to come across a recruiter that actually cares. Thank you Bonny and Morgan Parkes Recruitment team.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Janet Jones2023-12-10From day 1 after being contacted by Bonny at Morgan-Parkes-Recruitment, I was made to feel very relaxed about the new chapter in my life, after being with the same employer for almost 17 years, and with much apprehension about going for any interviews. (It had been a while) I felt as if I had known Bonny for ages, absolute gem, she helped me from the very beginning, guiding through each step of the way. Really putting me at ease. From talking through my CV to having my 1st and 2nd interviews, to being offered the role that Bonny matched me with, all within 2 weeks... wow, i cannot thank her enough. All i can finish off with, is that she is amazing at what she does. Thanks Bonny. 😊 JJ (tech support) 😆Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Jazzmine Mewes2023-11-16Bonny is super passionate and genuinely went out of her way to support and guide me on my journey to my new career.
