Who Else Wants A High Paying, ‘On The Books’ Labouring Job With A Guaranteed Long Run Of Work

Dear Ambitious Labourer, 

Are you looking for rewarding Labouring work in Nottingham, Leicester or Derby?

Finding it difficult to get a long run of work which pays the RIGHT amount for your skills and effort?

With booming interest rates and the general state of the economy, it’s not surprising house sales are slow… and builders are in some cases even halting development all altogether.

We’re seeing more and more decent labourers accepting lower-paid work, unskilled roles or joining the back of the dole queue without a moment's warning.

But you know that already.

How To Earn More As A Labourer, Even When The Industry Is Grinding To A Halt

If you want to ensure you’re paid properly for your skills and effort then you need to be selective with who you work for.

During a recession, almost everyone is affected to some degree.

But the people who are affected the least are the people with existing wealth.

By working for a developer with a reputation for building fine 'built to order' homes for financially secure customers, you’ll get to work on fulfilling jobs that you can be proud of for years to come.

But most importantly keep yourself in high-paid work even when the rest of the industry is struggling.

No longer worrying about accepting anything just to put food on the table or pay the mortgage.

Wave goodbye to filing tax returns and worrying about where your next job is coming from.

Michal’s Story - The Road To Success

I’d like to share Michal’s story.

After struggling to find meaningful work in Poland, he decided to risk everything and head to the UK.

He wasn’t in a trade before he came to Britain but was determined to give it his all, which is when he saw my advert.

He started out as a labourer, got qualified but more importantly cut his teeth with ‘real world’ building experience with mentorship from some of the very best in brickies in the business.

All whilst heading back to school in the evenings to improve his English.

Fast forward 9 years he works very hard to provide for his family. In exchange for his skills and positive attitude, he’s paid ‘by the brick’ and receives a really good wage well above the average salary (without any prior experience at all).

He grafts, takes care with his brickwork and enjoys being part of something worthwhile, making exquisite homes.

Best of all, he gets to enjoy regular trips back to Poland to relish a prosperous life with his family.

Michal Profile

Michal on site as lead bricklayer

"They have been really good to me. They have taught me all the skills I have. Before I came here, I didn’t have these skills. I have learned so much and I love my work and the people I work with. We work hard as a gang. I really like being able to drive by a beautiful house and tell my friends, I built that. I feel very proud.” 

Michal, Bricklayer

Warning! This Labouring Job Isn’t For Everyone

Our reputation as a master builder speaks for itself and i know how great this opportunity is (I’m obviously biased). But I know this job isn’t for most labourers.

If you want to just rock up to the site and spend the day taking the piss out of each other and knock off at 2pm to put your feet up before the kids get in.

If you’re happy to spend your years throwing up ‘boxes’ like Ground Hog day.

There’s nothing wrong with that, in many ways, good for you.

But that’s not what we’re about.

If you’re a PROPER builder who is sick of the chancers producing sloppy work and finally want to be challenged in an environment where you can thrive and earn TOP DOLLAR, then submit your application now.
