Fast Facts About Our London Service
Case Study: London Construction Sector Staffing Support
Client Challenge
A medium-sized construction contractor working on a residential development in East London experienced multiple no-shows from their directly hired labourers, risking project delays and penalty clauses. They needed reliable, compliant labouring staff immediately to maintain their build schedule.
Our Solution
labourer.agency provided a team of 8 CSCS-certified labourers within 24 hours, with full right-to-work documentation and compliance checks completed. We implemented a rolling weekly booking system with guaranteed coverage, including immediate replacement if any worker failed to attend.
Results Delivered
The project regained its schedule within 3 days. Over a 12-week period, we maintained 100% attendance coverage, with two temporary workers offered permanent positions by the client. The contractor saved approximately £15,000 in potential delay penalties.
