Our staff
I come from a trade background and made the decision to come off site and into recruitment in 2002. I started at the bottom and I've worked in every possible role in the construction recruitment sector so I feel I have a good understanding of what it takes to do the job well. I enjoy being involved in the day-to-day running of all aspects of the business. My core clients have been using me for over 15 years and I'd like to grow the business by helping our staff build a similar level of trust with the companies they supply.
I started my recruitment journey back in 2001, when the industry was a very different animal to what it is now. Most of the agencies in the construction sector used to focus purely on getting bodies on site, and virtues such as quality, honesty and reliability all played second fiddle. I've never been a fan of this model and my main career goal has been to break the 'quantity over quality' stigma attached to agency staff. I encourage our consultants to try to build long-term, sustainable relationships with clients by working closely with them on a personal level and focusing on delivering staffing solutions that help their businesses to prosper. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and my two boys, cycling (no lycra!), attempting golf and hitting the gym.
I have worked for Right Contracts for the last 5 and a half years, with a total of 10 years' industry experience. For the past 4 years I have worked alongside Daryl Craft as his right-hand man helping him with the day-to-day running of his team while bringing in my own clients at the same time.
My days consist of speaking with clients to make sure all requirements are filled, contacting workers to find them work / fill roles and completing any admin that needs doing. In my spare time I like to play as much golf as I can and have recently moved to the Kent coast, enjoying evening walks along the beach.
I'm a dedicated and results-driven Sales Manager, known for my exceptional relationship-building skills. I pride myself on creating lasting partnerships by consistently delivering value and working with integrity. With a proven track record of success, I thrive on understanding my clients' needs and delivering tailored recruitment solutions. Passionate about driving growth and exceeding expectations. My hobbies outside of the office are Crossfit and tattoos!
I have been working at Right Contract since 2020. I started here as a resourcer & quickly found my niche in Mechanical & Electrical. I now work under my director James and have done for the past 3 years, we work very well together as a team & always aim to keep our clients happy.
My hobbies and interests outside of work are spending time with my family & I also work as a makeup artist on weekends.
I have been with RCS for almost a year as Compliance Manager. I have spent my time so far researching various policies, implementing strategies and reports to ensure we are fully compliant within the Industry.
I like to spend my spare time with family and friends and love long walks in stunning scenery and paddle boarding on long, sunny evenings.
I rejoined the company eight months ago after finishing university, and it's been great to be back with the team again.
Day to day I play a key role in keeping our largest drainage contract running smoothly, routinely organising and supporting the tankering teams out on site. The guys provide an essential service to the industry so structure and key resourcing of top quality candidates is a strong focus. Tankering might not always be in the spotlight, but it's an essential part of the industry and between us we deliver a service that keeps projects moving.
Outside of work I regularly play football and will never pass up the opportunity to ski! I am currently training for a half-marathon and always looking for new places to travel to across the world.
I've been a bookkeeper for 30 years and have experience in all areas of accounts. I manage the accounts department here at RCS and oversee everything from the accounting to the management of our supply chain.
I've previously worked in various industries including: Leisure, Banking, Hospitality and Technology.
I enjoy spending time with my family and socialising with friends. My hobbies include pilates and badminton.
I have worked for Right Contracts for the last 2 and a half years now. Prior to working here, I was running my own beauty business so coming into the consultant role I hadn't had loads of sales experience but found myself quickly falling into it. Over the last few years I have worked hard to build a consistent and sustainable plan, developing my skills and working closely with my clients to make sure their needs are met on and off site.
Day to day I strive to bring on new business while ensuring I am maintaining the strong relationships I hold with my pre-existing clients. I also support my working candidates on site, finding them work with great companies and make sure all administrative tasks are completed.
In my free time, I represent a semi-professional basketball team, while simultaneously focusing on growing my beauty business, and of course, never miss a visit to the pub!
I have the privilege of overseeing a dedicated resource team that delivers top-tier talent to some of the most well-known construction companies nationwide. With years of experience in the industry, I am committed to providing our clients with skilled, professional, and reliable workers who meet the highest standards of excellence.
I work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and ensure that they are matched with the best talent available, contributing to the success of projects across the country. My role allows me to blend strategic oversight with hands-on leadership, ensuring that both our clients and candidates are supported throughout the recruitment process.
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my wife and two children, making the most of every moment with my family. Whether it's enjoying outdoor activities, travelling, or simply relaxing at home, family is my anchor.
I source and secure top talent in the construction industry, ensuring every project is staffed with the right professionals.I build strong relationships with both clients and operatives to make it all work seamlessly.Outside of work I enjoy playing golf, running, the gym and watching Tottenham with bated breath wondering when we will win some silverware…COYS!!
I have worked at Right Contracts for the last two years with James and Keeley. We work together effectively to ensure all operations run smoothly. I manage all the timesheets for the clients, making sure all our workers are paid on time!
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my five grown-up children and two-year-old granddaughter, and at every opportunity traveling to new parts of Europe and beyond!
We're hiring!

Frequently asked questions

All information of how to obtain a CSCS card can be found on the CSCS website here.
We engage with a small list of pre-vetted payroll companies who offer a variety of payment methods. The most common of these are PAYE, PAYE Umbrella, Limited Company and Self Employed. Details of all the companies, the payment models they offer and the charges and deductions associated with each payment method can be found on the Key Information Document (KID) that will be provided to you when you register with us for work finding services. Please note that some payment models (e.g. limited company or self-employed) can only be offered if the services you are providing meet certain criteria. You may be asked to complete a Status Determination Questionnaire (SDQ) or a CEST test before a determination can be made as to whether or not certain payment models are available for the specific role and placement you undertake.
This depends on the job you are doing and the requirements of the client requesting the resource. General labourers, cleaners and any "unskilled" roles will usually not have a requirement for the worker to provide any tools. Some skilled roles such as security guards, traffic marshals or those involving the use or supervision of heavy plant such as drivers, machine operators, slingers, hoist operators, crane supervisors, etc. also generally don't involve the use of tools. If you are looking for a skilled or semi-skilled trade job such as electrician, plumber, carpenter, etc. then you will generally be expected to attend site with all the tools needed to complete the tasks set out in the job specification, a copy of which will be sent to you prior to commencing work.
All operatives are paid weekly, on a Friday and one week in arrears. i.e. any money you earn for work you do this week will be in your account next week on Friday.
The best way to find out what jobs we're currently looking to fill is to give the office a call and speak to a member of the resource team who will be happy to help. Occasionally we advertise roles on our social media pages or via online advertising platforms such as CV Library and Indeed.
We recruit a wide range of roles for both blue collar and white collar jobs. A list of the most commonly resourced roles can be found in the Trade Sectors section.
Simple, just give our office a call and the team will send you a link to register ytour details directly on to our CRM. Alternatively, you can find a registration link on this very website... just click here.
We pride ourselves in our ability to source qualified, reliable candidates who will meet your requirements. This is the real world though and we are dealing with human beings which means we can never rule out the chance that one of them will throw us a curveball! We offer all clients half a day to assess the workers we source, at which point they can be removed from site at no charge if they are deemed unsuitable. Thankfully, this is extremely rare. We also encourage all of our consultants and account managers to speak to their clients regularly to get feedback on how the operatives we've placed are getting on so that any potential issues can be addressed as soon as they arise.
The easiest way is to give us a call! It's always better to chat through your specific requirements in person so we can get a thorough understanding of the nature of the work in question as well as make a note of any specific details with regards to working hours, breaks, and health & safety information. Alternatively you can drop us an email and someone will get straight back to you.
This is one of our favourite questions to be asked by clients. As a rule of thumb, getting a worker from an agency will normally have a slightly higher hourly cost than engaging with subcontractor directly. However, there are a number of factors to consider that make the comparison more complicated, such as: Have you considered the advertising costs and admin costs associated with searching for and vetting directly employed workers? How do you know the worker you're taking on is qualified and legal to work in the UK? If taking a worker PAYE, have you factored in the cost of NIERS (Employers National Insurance), sick pay, holiday pay, pension contribution, CITB levy, etc. and if taking workers on CIS, have you checked the nature of the engagement to make sure you're not at risk of breaching HMRC rules for false self-employment? Additionally, provided your company is able to obtain a credit facility, agencies offer payment terms, which can massively help with a company's cash flow, allowing sustainable growth of your business. All in all, I think that's pretty good value for the marginal additional cost!
Any skilled or semi-skilled operative will generally attend site with the tools required to complete the job in question. Clients are able to request that operatives bring specific tools or plant items, in which case we will do our best to source a suitable candidate who meets the specified requirements.
We vet all our operatives thoroughly and ensure they hold whatever qualifications and competencies are required for the role we place them in. Copies of all qualifications, cards and certificates are held on file on our CRM and we check CSCS status using the online card check service. We also subscribe to the JIB's ECS Check for Employment Businesses service, giving us the ability to verify the cards held by electrical workers.
The vast majority of the operatives we place are workers we've helped find work before so we have a good understanding of their strengths, as well as any weaknesses. When a tried & tested worker isn't available we will usually have candidates who have been referred to us by existing operatives or clients. They get thoroughly vetted and referenced in order to minimise let-downs or unsuitability and we conduct Right to Work Checks and keep copies of any relevant qualifications, skill cards and competencies on our bespoke, secure CRM.
In short, YES! We conduct our own Right to Work in the UK checks on EVERY operative we place, prior to EVERY placement, regardless of whether or not they have worked for us before. Our staff are trained in which documents they must obtain and how to conduct the checks and we have a Compliance Manager who oversees the process to ensure we are up to date with the latest legislation. In addition, further checks on bank accounts and home addresses are carried out by the payroll companies we use to fully ensure that every operative we send to work has the legal right to work in the UK and to identify any candidate who may be subject to Modern Slavery.
