Construction slowly recovering, according to Sphere Solutions

Property construction is starting to return, as recruitment agency Sphere Solutions reveals.

Permanent construction workers are getting back on site, though there are currently only around 40% compared to pre-lockdown levels. Meanwhile there are 60% of temporary workers compared to before the lockdown.

Both are steadily increasing.

James Hughes, managing director of Sphere Solutions, said:

“It is a case of steady but cautious optimism, but the early signs are hopeful that next year could bring about a sharp return to previous levels.”

The restrictions enforced by lockdown measures caused a drastic slow down on construction sites, and the demand for staffing across the UK.

By the 1st April, permanent job placements had dropped by 82% and temporary placements by 75%.
