Mike

My background is construction and had many a run in with health and safety (power hungry nut jobs )

I am sure your not like many I have met - however I do get the sense that construction is slowly getting back on it's feet, seeing a lot of jobs for people like estimators and QS's which is normally a good sign.

So I think demand for labour and management will return.

Just to support that view, we have seen a major increase in demand for our services, specially from builders and surveyors. Also been looking after a pool at a property thats been on the market for 2 years at

Crb checks 26th March 2010 5:02 PM
Hi all,

Some of the new contracts we are trying to get are asking for copies of CRB check.
