About the Company:
Our privately owned client is a specialist subcontractor operating in Central London, who work with a variety of residential, commercial and industrial business. Over the years, they have developed into a multi-functional group which successfully cover a number of sectors however the core functions of their business which includes deconstruction, structural alterations, temporary works and piling contributes £40M turnover to the overall group turnover of £60M. All of their operational and surveying team operate out of their newly, refurbished central London office, which offers their employees the ability to jump on the train (if not walk) to their sites within 30 minutes. The benefit of this allows complete cooperation across all departments, creating a stream line process and team approach.
At present, our client has secured £25M worth of work for this year, with further workload in the pipeline. With a low staff turnover, this specialist subcontractor rarely recruits and this opportunity has arisen purely due to company expansion and a healthy pipeline of work.
Having recently met with this business and several of the leadership team, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a polished company that can offer them good, technical projects and fantastic career progression opportunities.
