Hear From a Placed Bricklayer

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
"I'd been out of consistent work for about six weeks before I called Workers Direct. Within two days, I was placed on a residential development in Gosforth earning more per hour than I'd seen in years. The consultant kept in regular touch, the payroll was spot-on every Friday, and when that contract finished, they had me back on site elsewhere in Newcastle within a week. I genuinely couldn't recommend them enough to any bricklayer looking for work in the North East."
