DH2, DH3What employers say
Feedback from businesses we've supplied across County Durham.
"Needed six labourers and two brickies for a start on the Monday. Sent the request Thursday afternoon, had the names and CSCS numbers back by Friday morning and every one of them turned up. That's rare."
Groundworks contractor, County Durham"We'd been let down twice by other suppliers on a fit-out in the town centre. These lot filled the gap with a couple of decent joiners within a day and stuck with us through to handover."
Fit-out contractor, Chester-le-Street"Used them for a site manager cover over the summer. Vetting was proper, paperwork was sorted before day one, and the guy they sent knew what he was doing. Will use again for the next phase."
