More Than Recruitment
Building stronger communities, fairer opportunities, and a more sustainable industry — one placement at a time.
More Than Recruitment
Building stronger communities, fairer opportunities, and a more sustainable industry — one placement at a time.
Great recruitment leaves more behind than a filled vacancy. It strengthens the communities, supply chains, and industry it touches.
As part of the Munnelly Group, we're backed by over 45 years of hands-on experience delivering construction and infrastructure services across the UK. That heritage comes with a responsibility: to make sure the way we recruit genuinely benefits the people and places we work in, not just the businesses we serve.
This page sets out how we do that in practice — through local employment, training and upskilling, inclusive hiring practices, planning compliance support, and genuine community engagement.

Local Employment Initiatives
Local Employment Initiatives
We believe the best workforce for a project is often already living in the community around it. Wherever possible, we prioritise sourcing candidates locally to the sites and projects we support — reducing commuting time and cost for workers, and putting money back into the local economy rather than drawing labour in from elsewhere.
This isn't just good practice — for many of our clients, it's a genuine requirement, particularly on publicly funded infrastructure projects where local employment outcomes are part of the contract itself.

Apprenticeships & Upskilling Programmes
Apprenticeships & Upskilling Programmes
The construction and infrastructure sector doesn't just need workers today — it needs a pipeline of skilled people for the next decade and beyond. We take our role in that seriously, supporting candidates not just into their next role, but into a genuine long-term career.

Section 106 Compliance Support
Section 106 Compliance Support
Section 106 agreements often include specific commitments around local labour, training, and employment outcomes tied to planning permission. Getting this wrong isn't just a missed opportunity — it can create genuine compliance risk for developers and contractors.
We support clients in meeting these obligations with confidence, providing the reporting and local sourcing capability needed to demonstrate compliance throughout a project's lifecycle.
