Leggwork Construction recruitment, evolved.

Real talk with Leanne šŸ‘·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

In this part of our chat with Leanne, she shares what it means to be a woman in the construction industry and why she loves being part of it.

ā€œI love demolition, I love making things look pretty again after.ā€

Leanne explains how she feels she can ā€œbe herself and show that women can do just as much as the men.ā€

Women made up around 15% of the UK construction workforce in 2025, but only 1 to 2% of on-site trade roles. This, alongside the skills gap in the industry, will be holding the industry back in the future. New minds and fresh perspectives are what the industry needs to continue to evolve.

ā€œYou never know until you try it. You just have to be organised, have the right equipment, and know what you’re doing. Always ask if you’re not sure. We’re all in the same boat, we’re all grafting and want to get home in one piece.ā€

Meet Leanne. šŸ‘‹

We headed down to site to catch up with Leanne, Site Supervisor on a high end project, and our most recent LEGGWORKER of the Month.

She picked up the award off the back of some brilliant feedback, so we thought it was the perfect time to sit down and hear her thoughts on the industry, how she got started, and some of the highs and lows along the way.

Conversations like this matter to us. The industry needs more people coming through, and one of the best ways to show what’s actually possible is by sharing real stories from real people already doing the job. Leanne’s journey is exactly that, proof of what’s achievable with the right graft and the right opportunities.

Check back in tomorrow to hear Leanne’s thoughts and experiences on being a woman in the construction industry.

LEGGWORKER of the Month ✨

This month, we are shining a light on Leanne, our LEGGWORKER of the Month!

Leanne is a Site Supervisor currently working across multiple sites for one of our high-end residential clients, and she has been absolutely flying.

What makes Leanne stand out is not just her work ethic, but the journey she has taken to get there. She has worked her way up through the industry and her passion for what she does is genuinely admirable.

The feedback we have had from the client has been brilliant, from her productivity to just her overall energy and attitude on site. Exactly the kind of person we love placing and exactly the kind of person clients love having around.

Well done Leanne, keep smashing it! šŸ‘

āš’ļø Site visit 🪚

This week, Dan headed out to the Cotswolds to catch up with some of our chippies and stonemasons working on a stunning high-end residential project.

It was fantastic to hear in detail about what they have been getting up to on the project, what is still to come, and some of the work they have been most proud of completing during their time with LEGGWORK.

We also brought along some well-deserved ice creams to help with the sweltering heat!

A brilliant visit and a really interesting one too, hearing about the full scope of works on such a beautiful historic building.

What a weekend! šŸŽˆ

As many of you will know, Young Bristol is a charity we have worked closely with for over five years. This year, they were elected as the charity of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, and we could not be more happy for them.

When they asked if we wanted to get involved, it was an easy yes.

Young Bristol has supported so many young people across Bristol over the years, giving them a safe space outside of school to develop their hobbies, interests and confidence. Getting to see that up close this weekend was really special.

They had a brilliant presence at Ashton Court with a rock climbing wall and a load of activities that went down a treat with the young people who attended.

Across the weekend, George, Heather and Trudy helped out at the activities area, including the badge and keyring making station, which was an absolute hit with the younger attendees. Kamila and Lucy also came along to help raise awareness of the charity by speaking to members of the public and handing out leaflets.

It is always great to see the impact Young Bristol makes first hand, and we were glad to play a small part in such a brilliant event.

See you at Ashton Court next year! šŸŽˆ

Following on from our Q2 meeting, it had us reflecting on the year so far, and there’s a lot to be proud of.

We kicked off the year with our biggest quarter ever, hitting 133% of target in Q1, and celebrated with the whole team at Hambledon Vineyard in Wi******er.

Since then, we’ve moved into a new home at Stokes Croft and welcomed Ruby to the team, who’s already made her first placement. We’ve also brought in 10 new clients, and across Civils and Trades & Labour, supplied 92 new sites across the Southwest so far this year.

Social value has stayed front and centre too. Our goal is 5% of operating profit given back, we’re currently sitting at 7.75%.

We’ve also kicked off a leadership programme for the team, and there’s a LEGGWORK newsletter on the way, first one landing soon.

None of this happens without the people who make it work, so a big shout out to all the team. Also a big thank you to all of our dedicated people putting in the LEGGWORK on the ground for our clients. Most notable, our LEGGWORKERS of the month from this year so far, Kirk, Charlie, Paul, Steve and Dan.

Here’s to the second half of 2026.

Proud to share that Leggwork Construction Services is now an official signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.

This is something we’ve been working towards for a while, driven by Luke with his strong family ties to a military background. A huge thank you goes to Ben as well for doing all the Leggwork to get this over the line.

Supporting the Armed Forces community isn’t a box-ticking exercise for us. It’s about recognising the commitment, professionalism and sacrifice of those who serve our country, and understanding that many veterans face real challenges when transitioning back into civilian life.

As a recruitment business, we believe we have a responsibility to help wherever we can. Construction and civil engineering are full of opportunities where the leadership, discipline, technical ability and work ethic built through military service are hugely valued. We’re committed to helping more service leavers and veterans access those opportunities.

Signing the Covenant is just the start. Over the coming months and years, we’ll keep looking at ways to strengthen our support, with the ambition of progressing through the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. Most importantly, we want to make a genuine difference, not just put a logo on our website.

We’re looking forward to working alongside the clients, candidates and partners who already share these values, and to building on this commitment together.

To celebrate a strong start to 2026, the whole LEGGWORK team headed to Wi******er for a well deserved overnight trip!

First stop was Hambledon Wine Estate Vineyard, where we took a tour and tasting, learning everything from how the grapes are grown right through to how it ends up in the bottle. A brilliant insight into the process behind every glass, paired with some excellent wine.

From there, we headed into Wi******er for a well earned meal and some celebrating, taking the time to reflect on a quarter built on hard work and real growth across the business.

With the sun shining and the whole team together, it was a great trip all round and a brilliant way to mark the progress we’ve made so far this year.

Well done, team. Here’s to keeping the momentum going in 2026!

On Friday, we celebrated Charlie’s first year at LEGGWORK! šŸŽ‰

Last year, Charlie joined Daniel on the Trades and Labour team, and over the past 12 months she’s made a real impact. Her drive to find the right candidates for our clients has been a key part of the team’s growth, and she’s brought a brilliant energy to the office along with it. Always positive, always motivated, and always up for the challenge of finding that perfect match for a client.

It’s not always an easy industry to recruit in, but Charlie’s fast, direct approach has made all the difference.

It’s been brilliant having you on board, Charlie. Here’s to the year ahead!

The first official Leggwork employee hits his 5-year anniversary! šŸŽ‰

Not literally turning 5, but close enough to celebrate like it.

Five years ago, Daniel walked through the doors as one of LEGGWORK’s earliest team members. Since then, he’s been nothing short of instrumental, building our Trades & Labour division from the ground up, and for a period, running it entirely on his own.

Dan is a true embodiment of what Leggwork stands for. He goes above and beyond for both his clients and his tradespeople, leading with communication, honesty, and an unwavering commitment to quality. He won’t settle for anything less than the best, and that dedication shows in every placement he makes.

But it’s not just his work ethic that makes Dan a great part of the team. He brings energy, humour, and a personality that genuinely lights up the office.

Dan, thank you for everything you’ve put into Leggwork over the last five years. Here’s to many more. šŸ™Œ
