As expected, the New Year has brought about plenty of new work with our clients looking for skilled trades. My desk has been super busy working on requirements across Europe and along the south coast of the UK.
I have ongoing projects in Spain, France, Sweden, Italy and plenty of work in Southampton, Portsmouth and Poole. As always, I am keen to speak with all skilled trades about these opportunities – maybe this year is the time you look for a better-paid position? Or do you want to get into contracting? Whatever you are looking for we will be able to help find it.
