I just googled PCR and thought it would be fitting to leave a review. I have been very fortunate to know PCR for some years. They have constantly placed me in very suitable appointments whenever we have contacted each other. Not only in a white collar opportunities, but their access to very capable trade and labour personnel at very reasonable rates has only made my projects flow with ease. I'd like to especially thank Stuart Ward for his continued effort to supply labour and opportunities swiftly and professionally.

Extremely rude, unprofessional and pushy. If you say no to a job they try to pressure you into accepting it and if that doesnt work they get even ruder and try to guilt you into taking the job. Wish Id looked at the other reviews on here before signing up with them.
