Specialist construction sector recruitment business launches in Liverpool

Recruitment group Bluestones has announced the launch of a new firm targeting the construction sector.

The Liverpool-based company’s latest joint venture, MEP Resourcing, provides temporary and permanent personnel for construction projects throughout the UK.

MEP is led by managing director Ben Leigh, who has more than a decade of experience in recruitment.

The firm recruits plumbers, electricians, duct fitters and thermal insulation engineers, among other professionals.

Discussing the launch, Ben said: “Over the years I’ve built up a large network of clients and candidates.

“The timing was right to set up MEP Resourcing. The market we’re operating in is buoyant and we’ve already hit the ground running with a handful of key clients.”

Paul Broderick, Bluestones Group board sponsor and divisional CEO, commented: “Ben has a fantastic background in his sector and he’s well regarded by both clients and candidates alike.

“His experience and commitment to quality make him exactly the type of person we look to invest in.”
