Skilled Labour Services rang in 2018 with big plans for the business, all focused on growth and ensuring we maintain our position as the leading specialist groundworks and gang supplier in the civil engineering and construction sector.
Three months in, and we look back on how the business has performed in the first quarter of the year and highlight the facts and figures, which have helped contribute to what has been our busiest ever quarter in the 7 year history of the business.
