Bedfordshire

Covering Bedford, Luton, Dunstable and surrounding areas. Bedfordshire sits at the crossroads of the M1 and A1, with strong transport links to London and the Midlands, making it a hub for logistics, aerospace and professional services.

With UK vacancies falling to around 711,000 in early 2026 - the lowest level since 2021 - competition for roles across the South East and East of England is intensifying sharply.

Birmingham

The UK's second city and economic heart of the West Midlands. Birmingham is a major centre for finance, professional services, manufacturing and the creative industries, with a rapidly growing tech sector.

The West Midlands employment rate sits below the national average, and with the UK unemployment rate reaching 4.9% in early 2026, professionals in the region face a market where every application counts.

Cambridgeshire

Home to Winning CVs. Cambridgeshire is renowned for its world-class university, thriving biotech and tech clusters around Silicon Fen, and a professional services sector that attracts talent from across the globe.

The East of England has one of the UK's lowest economic inactivity rates at 17.9%, meaning the labour market is active but competitive - a strong CV is essential to stand out.

Essex

Covering Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea and surrounding areas. Essex blends proximity to London with a strong local economy in financial services, healthcare and construction, and was identified as one of the UK's job posting growth areas in early 2026.

West Essex saw a 16.2% increase in active job postings in February 2026, making it one of the top five growth areas nationally - but more vacancies also means more applicants.

Leicester

Covering Leicester, Loughborough and Leicestershire. A diverse economic centre with strengths in textiles, engineering, food manufacturing and a growing space and technology sector anchored by the National Space Centre.

The East Midlands has the highest proportion of manufacturing-based jobs of any UK region, and with national vacancies down 8.3% year-on-year, standing out in a specialist market demands a specialist CV.

London

The UK's capital and largest job market, spanning the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and beyond. London is the centre for finance, law, media, technology, government and professional services, attracting global talent at every level.

London saw the largest decrease in workforce jobs of any UK region in 2025, with 110,000 fewer positions, while simultaneously holding the highest unemployment rate at 7.9%. Standing out has never mattered more.

Northamptonshire

Covering Northampton, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough. Northamptonshire is a logistics powerhouse thanks to its central location, with growing sectors in motorsport engineering (Silverstone corridor), distribution and professional services.

Nationally, there are now 2.5 unemployed people competing for every vacancy - unchanged since mid-2025 and double the ratio seen during the post-pandemic hiring boom. A targeted CV makes all the difference.

Norwich

The capital of Norfolk and gateway to East Anglia. Norwich has a thriving financial services sector (Aviva's headquarters), a respected university, and growing strengths in digital, creative and agri-tech industries.

Norwich has been identified among the UK's top cities for job opportunities, but with advertised vacancies nationally at their lowest since January 2021, a professionally written CV is your strongest advantage.

Surrey

Covering Guildford, Woking, Reigate, Epsom and surrounding areas. Surrey is one of the UK's most affluent counties, with a concentration of headquarters for major corporations, pharmaceutical firms and technology companies along the M3 and M25 corridors.

The South East employment rate remains among the UK's highest, but with permanent placements in London and the South East falling for eleven consecutive months, competition for senior roles is fierce.

All 5-star Trustpilot reviews in 2025 & 2026:

Winning CV's helped me get past AI CV Scanning! WCV's helped me set up my CV - I had a feeling the company wasn't doing well - so wanted to be ready. Roughly 3 weeks later it happened. Redundant. I could immediately start applying with my new CV. I immediately noticed good responses - a lot personally written which meant that my CV had got in front of someone, even from large Blue Chips with over 100 applications. Becky's version really punched through - and at interviews some of the elements pulled out from career and placed front and centre were mentioned. My CV seemed to be getting through and past AI and I can only put that down to Becky and the approach taken to laying out my CV. I cannot recommend Winning CV's services enough. Thanks!

★★★★★

An excellent service. Becky was great & I felt she took the time to really understand my background, skills & achievements to build a great CV. I was struggling to get past the sift stage before, but now with Becky's advice & her re-write of my CV, I have a number of interviews for opportunities that I am excited to interview for.

★★★★★

Phenomenal CV writer. I was struggling to condense 20 years of experience into two pages. Becky didn't just manage to do this, she created something incredible. She has this innate ability to delve deep into your professional self to create a jaw-dropping CV, LinkedIn profile and covering letter. Looking forward to putting it all to the test in the New Year. Thanks, Becky

★★★★★

Becky is a CV wizardess! I needed help summarising a 20+ year career into two pages. Becky took the time to really understand my experience and pulled out the most important elements into an impressive summary that I could never have achieved on my own (or using AI tools - believe me, I tried!!!). It's given me a new sense of confidence, as I'd actually forgotten about many of my achievements, and Becky was able to draw them out through a thorough discovery process. I now feel ready to take on the next stage of my career at director or executive level - something I'd previously doubted my ability to do. Becky also overhauled my LinkedIn profile, which I'd never really taken the time to develop properly, and the engagement on my posts and profile has skyrocketed overnight. I've also already had conversations with recruiters who contacted me directly as a result of my LinkedIn profile.

★★★★★

Engineering CV - 25 years experience. I found Becky extremely helpful and it worked! Job interview and offer from the first application. Incredibly proud of my CV, thank you Becky.

★★★★★

Becky was great to work with and was thorough with her approach. She took the time to truly understand my diverse career history to strategically highlight the most relevant achievements and skills. Becky did this 2 different CV versions, targeted to 2 roles types.

★★★★★

Brilliant Process and End Result. The whole process with Becky was a real pleasure, it was executed perfectly from initial call to final document. Each step was incredibly thorough and well thought through. Guiding me expertly through what she needed, she produced an end result that was absolutely spot on and I would absolutely recommend her to those looking to create a CV they can genuinely be proud of.

★★★★★

My experience has been wholly positive. Based on an in-depth discussion session, my resulting CV is a real step forward. Clearly demonstrating my strengths, achievements and potential. This is a great service that I will relying on future and that I genuinely recommend to others.
