Recruitment firm is well placed to benefit from new government’s housing and infrastructure plans
Specialist recruiter Hercules Site Services says it is well placed to benefit from the new government’s housing and infrastructure plans.
The Gloucestershire firm specialises in providing labour for building and infrastructure projects across the UK.
Hercules says it Labour Supply division continues to thrive.
The division was awarded a place on the Hill Group PSL to provide blue-collar operatives for the construction industry.
This is the first cross-selling opportunity secured via Future Build, the company’s recent acquisition in the white-collar recruitment sector.
Hercules has now begun supplying labour to the Sizewell C nuclear project in Suffolk, necessitating the expansion of the Company’s office footprint with a satellite office now situated in Saxmundham, near Ipswich, further expanding the Company’s reach across the UK alongside permanent offices in South Cerney, Gloucestershire, and Nuneaton in the West Midlands.
Hercules has also been awarded a place on Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick’s Contingent Labour Framework for the supply of Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) roles after a successful tendering process.
The Civils Projects division has been awarded further new contracts with a combined value of £7.89 million during the first half of the year.
These contracts will see Hercules deliver critical work for two major clients: Thames Water and Anglian Water, relating to 14 wastewater treatment and water management projects.
The Civils Projects division has extensive expertise in executing projects in this sector and is currently experiencing growth for FY2024 as UK water companies face mounting pressure to increase the country’s water resilience.
The Construction Academy has recently been appointed as an approved training provider for Gen2 and City and Guilds Training, to deliver Construction Skills Bootcamps across England. This is an exciting opportunity to upskill individuals throughout the sector and train new entrants starting their careers. This initiative will benefit individuals and employers, supporting construction and infrastructure projects throughout England.
Brusk Korkmaz, chief executive of Hercules, said: “Water regulator Ofwat has in the past week cleared the way for a £96bn infrastructure spending programme across the country for AMP8. This investment will drive forward momentum in an area of strength for Hercules for the next five years and beyond.
“The fantastic news that the Construction Academy recently secured funding from North Warwickshire Borough Council and that we became an approved training provider with City & Guilds and Gen2, will act to bolster Hercules’ commitment to tackling the well-publicised national skills shortage.”
