Do you supply construction workers specifically to the City of London?

Yes — the City of London (EC1–EC4) is one of our most active areas. We supply CSCS-verified labourers, specialist trades, M&E engineers, and site management professionals to City contractors and fit-out specialists.

Can you supply workers for out-of-hours and weekend working in the City?

Yes — out-of-hours and weekend working is standard in the City of London due to access and noise restrictions. We can supply workers for early starts, late finishes, and weekend shifts across EC postcodes.

Do you supply workers for Cat A and Cat B fit-out in the Square Mile?

Yes — Cat A and Cat B office fit-out is the dominant project type in the City of London. We supply the full trade mix for fit-out projects, from first fix through to snagging and handover.

What certifications do workers need to access City of London sites?

Most City sites require a minimum CSCS Green Card for labourers. Many also require additional site-specific inductions, and some require Crossrail or PTS certification. Phoenix Gray ensures all placed workers hold the appropriate cards for the specific site.

Do you handle permanent recruitment for City of London construction firms?

Yes — we handle permanent and interim recruitment for project managers, contracts managers, quantity surveyors, and senior site management for construction and fit-out businesses operating in the City.
