Quote from our CEO John Macdonald

“One of our missions is to try and reach out to inform people about what the possibilities are if they choose to work in an industry like construction, which in many ways is very attractive because it’s an area of skill shortage.”

“It’s also a growth area, and it’s an area in which people even at the lowest level of labour, are reasonably well paid and well looked after.”
