Daragh Curtis

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Derek Leahy with his new venture, “Bua Bua” (win-win). Derek managed to get me a contractor role against the odds, and it was done in record time. As a contractor who has worked with many companies, I know how long these things can play out, but the time between interview and contract signature was less than a week – all down to outstanding timing and organization on Derek’s part). His communication game is on point—quick, accurate, and no-nonsense. Dealing with paperwork was a breeze, thanksto him. I simply can’t recommend him enough. – January 17, 2024
