Wanted: Joiner Fitters For Bespoke Joinery

[Crook]

Good morning

The company I work for are looking for skilled joiner fitters for site work. It's a good, very busy company with interesting projects for main London D&B companies and contractors.
This is the website (needs updating as ever) that gives a flavour of what we do.
We're based in Milton Keynes but the majority of work is in London and the days typically are 6am to 6pm starting and finishing in Milton Keynes. Travelling time to/from site is paid as are holidays etc. Lots of overtime opportunity: evenings / weekends.

Please contact the office through the website. Main office number is likely to be your best bet.

Here are a couple of PH worthy pictures of something we did at MB World (not the SLS)

If anyone is unemployed and not a total idiot, in reasonably shape and can either take direction or work under their own inititative, go and train to be a joiner / carpenter. There is so much work out there and it pays well. We currently use a lot of skilled subbies and 75% of them are from Eastern Europe.
All great guys but there is a massive skills shortage in this country and they are filling it.

I really don't mean to be unhelpful but 12 hours days (60 hour weeks) plus the travel time from home to MK every day doesn't seem to be a massively attractive prospect these days; I'm not surprised you're having trouble finding good staff. The Eastern Europeans look at it like we do site work abroad - a short term hit for good money, but as a permanent arrangement it's not great.

Blimey.

No idea, I left and set up my own company!

No idea how that became a necro thread; it seems we need to check the date on every post now before replying.

A spammer re-awakened the thread but had their post deleted. You decided to add your post either before or after the deletion.
