"George Humphries was excellent. Kept in touch through whole process and was very supportive to me as a candidate. Would recommend George any time"

Why are you looking to leave your existing employer?
Have the story planned and pre-prepared.
If you were made redundant, what was going on in the company to force them to make that decision, how many others were made redundant, i.e. “my position was made redundant together with three of my colleagues last Wednesday as our major client went bust owing us £500K”. This is better than “I was made redundant”. Don’t go into laborious detail and always portray your current/last employer in a favourable light.
Good points to make are needing a new challenge/taken the company as far as I can/want to develop my career and I’ve sat down with my boss and they’re allowing me o attend interviews/I need a new mentor to help me develop my business skills further, etc.
