Global Recruitment Solutions for a Competitive World

Construction

The construction sector in the United Kingdom is experiencing a significant shortage of skilled labour. To address this challenge, many companies are increasingly turning to the international market.

The decline and eventual cessation of the UK’s apprenticeship scheme was a key factor in the onset of sector-wide workforce shortages. This was compounded by a prolonged period of low pay and poor working conditions, followed by the impact of Brexit. For a long time, the sector has struggled with skilled labour shortages, with no immediate solution in sight.
