Our story
If you could travel back in time to our beginning, you'd be able to pop round to our founder Nathan Ferris house and see him preparing a fantastic new journey connecting skilled jobseekers to amazing companies across the country. It was a pretty exciting moment but a big challenge that was made to be tackled head on.
Jump back in the DeLorean and head back to the present day and Nathan is no longer a lone ranger. We've now got a fantastic team of passionate recruiters who put their heart and soul into finding a link between job seekers and scaling growing companies. We've worked with over 200 clients, registered over 35,000 candidates and filled 97% of the vacancies our clients have brought to us. Thats a lot of happy people finding their dream roles and a lot of growing businesses getting support.
Our services include temporary, permanent and contract recruitment across all sectors within construction, engineering, proffesional and manufacturing. We can provide comprehensive training services to up skill candidates and provide credit facilities to our client base.
We are passionate about helping scaling companies reach their potential by working in alignment to their values, understanding the growth plans and supporting employers with their mission to success in a competitive and exciting industry.
Not bad for a SME, is it? But of course, there's loads more to come. Just watch this space.

Our values
Value-driven recruitment - it's an oxymoron, isn't it? Not here, it's not. We've worked in the industry long enough to know what we don't want our business to look like.
And we've spent a lot of time working out our values:
ETHICAL
You won't find any sharks here. Try the aquarium. Honesty and fairness is at the heart of our business.
We always speak the truth, paint a honest picture and do everything in the interests of both our candidates and clients together. Harmony in connecting people is important to feel happy about the service we provide.
PROACTIVE
There's a lot of talk in construction. We prefer action and results.
Our wide array of contacts and industry knowledge allows us to take each persons requirements and search tirelessly to get things sort. In fact, we fill 97% of all roles we get - most within 4 hours. Thats some impressive action taking.
KNOWLEDGABLE
You really don't want to take us on in a pub quiz. Especially about recruitment.
By being a specialist in our field, there is no questions you cannot ask us. We have helped start ups go from no staff to large teams by getting to understand their work programmes, safety requirements and exactly the needs of the people behind the business.
TRUSTED
Don't take our word for it. Have a read of our testimonials.
We never let a problem go unresolved. In times when things don't always go to plan - we are committed to coming to resolutions that put a smile on your face.
Most importantly, trust has allowed us to have a fantastic relationship where people can simply call us to ask questions, get essential support and have peace of mind that our promises are delivered upon. Take that.
UNIFIED
We're like a family here. Only a lot less dysfunctional. Everyone works towards the same goal.
Strong teamwork makes a business work like clockwork and it is even more essential when our commitment to giving a exceptional service is paramount to our values and mission. Start to finish, our team works collectively each with our own important tasks to give one fantastic seamless service. One united picture, one united service.
