Desk 6
Construction
Trades, labourers, groundworkers and site managers. CSCS cards and tickets checked, and honest payslips.
Tickets checked, boots on, and at your gate at half seven. We do not send a joiner who has just done a weekend course, and we do not hide deductions in small print.
We check CSCS cards online and ask to see the tickets that matter: NVQs, CPCS, SMSTS, first aid. Then we ask who they last worked for and ring them. Builders know each other around here, which helps. For a sudden gap in a programme, we can often fill labourers and groundworkers by the next morning.
For workers: we pay through PAYE on our own books, and we do not push you towards an umbrella company. If a client wants you on CIS, we explain exactly what you will take home before you start. Site managers and surveyors are handled by Gareth as permanent searches, with a real conversation about the programme you will inherit.

Questions about construction
Do you use umbrella companies?
No. Our temps are on our PAYE payroll. If that ever changes for a particular job, we will show you the deductions in writing first.
I lost my CSCS card. Can I still work?
Not on most sites until it is replaced. We will check your status online and point you to the replacement process. It is usually quick.
Looking for work, or looking for someone?
Register in ten minutes and we will ring you, or tell us about the job and we will come and see it. Free for candidates, and no fee for employers unless someone starts.
