Founded in 2001 by industry insiders, Premises Recruitment Ltd emerged to bridge the gap between construction firms and specialist talent.
Privately owned and independent, the firm has built trusted relationships with Tier 1 contractors, developers and niche consultants.
Their divisions span prime residential, main contracting, interiors, facades, affordable housing and M&E/FM—mirroring the full diversity of modern construction.
They cover roles from site managers and engineers to commercial managers, BIM specialists and MEP consultants, handling both permanent and temporary hires.
Known for rapid delivery, their team averages a 3-day turnaround from vacancy to candidate shortlist.
Despite modest financials—just over £100k in current assets as of May 2024—they’ve retained strong profitability and balance sheet stability.
Their consultants boast over a decade’s average tenure, fueling deep sector knowledge and continuity in client service.
Standout facts include preferred-supplier status with major UK contractors and a reputation for highly confidential and repeat business partnerships.
