I've been chasing them up for 1 whole month yet still paid nothing ignored and lied too which is very unprofessional. Doesn't pickup either office number or personal. Waste of time.

Awful, Peter was "helping" me and delayed the start date many times, was told it was a full time position mon-fri and once I finally went to the job I was told it was cover for 2 days! Not good enough, messed around a lot by this company!

Scott and the rest of the team at Trade supply us with labour over various projects through out London and the Home Counties, from bricklayers, ground workers, carpenters and more. They always try to ensure that they send us the best person for the project.

Useless firm! They don't know the difference between a towercrane and a spider crane! As a result of this, they end up sending workers to jobs which they don't have the relevent tickets for! When you are working on site for them they constantly ring you to ask you to beg the site to take on labourers! The will send 2 labourers to a job full well knowing that one of them will be left out of work! It got so bad that the site manager at Dean and Dean construction refused to use them ever again as he felt sorry for the lads they kept turning away! They also sent me a text for work a day after

Made an agreement with Charlotte for 9hrs per day @ 19 per hour. Trade rec paid 8 hrs..while the guys I'm working beside got paid 9 hrs. After disputing the issue. They renegotiated at 8hrs paid @ 21 per hour and refused to pay the missing hours or financial shortfall for the 1st 2 weeks. Then didn't honour the 2nd agreement and only paid 40 hrs @ 19, of the 48 due for the 3rd week..time sheets submitted and signed off. She then tried to blame the client. The client has decided after the way they treat workers and their lies..they will remove all trade workers and never use them again.much
