Following the dissolution of a competitor, apprentice to boardroom talent solutions provider Nicholas Associates Group (NAG) has acquired a number of key construction labour contracts and has launched a new brand called Cra-Cro Site Services which will specialise in helping skilled, experienced construction workers and tradespeople find jobs across the UK.
Cra-Cro is an original brand name used by NAG founder Nick Cragg when he launched his first company back in 1975. The brand has been revived and will sit alongside the NA Construction brand which recruits professionally qualified roles such as quantity surveyors, commercial managers and site management professional roles in order to differentiate and complement each specialism.
Cra-Cro Site Services will focus on the recruitment of skilled construction workers such as brick layers, plasterers, joiners, electricians, plumbers, painters, decorators and general labourers and will be able to place over 100 labours in work each week. Working with both local subcontractors and leading construction companies, the new division currently has contracts to provide skilled labour to Seddon Construction, Horbury Group, and Henry Boot.
The new company will be led by Steve Davies who will report to Paul Brammer, Managing Director of NAG, and work alongside Matt Wainwright who is head of NA Construction recruitment.
Paul Brammer said: “NAG brands are renowned for delivering exceptional experiences to both the employer and the employee. Our intention is to develop Cra-Cro Site Services as the go to specialist recruiter trusted by construction firms to source and place reliable and highly competent temporary construction workers.”
Operating from a UK wide network of over 33 offices, the Cra-Cro Site Service and NA Construction team are recruitment experts and specialise in helping companies improve their talent acquisition and engagement strategies.
