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%.
