Peel Construction Recruitment

Construction and shopfitting recruitment from Warrington

Peel Construction Recruitment is a recruitment agency working in the construction, interiors and shopfitting sectors. From its office on Buttermarket Street in Warrington, the firm positions itself as a link between businesses looking for staff and candidates seeking roles in these trades. The company states that it has more than 25 years of experience in the sector and frames its work around an understanding of the particular demands of construction and shopfitting projects.

The agency describes its candidate pool as spanning experienced tradespeople through to project managers and engineers. Its stated method covers the whole hiring cycle: sourcing and screening candidates, preparing them for interviews and supporting onboarding once a placement is made. It also says it builds a customised recruitment strategy around each client's company culture and project requirements rather than applying a single template.

Sectors covered

The site organises its activity around three named areas:

• Construction
• Interiors
• Shop fitting

Alongside these, the firm publishes job listings and invites candidates to submit a CV through the site.

The team behind the agency

The company presents a management and delivery team with backgrounds in recruitment and related fields. Anton Gleave, a director, has spent over 25 years in recruitment, with a focus on construction. Dylan Cooper, also a director, has more than 23 years in the industry; in 2003 he became director of an independent single-sector agency that expanded into a multi-sector, regional business reaching a turnover of £16 million before its sale in 2016. He is described as hands-on and as working across both Peel Construction and the group leader Peel Solutions.

Andy Smith, a third director, is a retired Detective Superintendent after 25 years with Cheshire police, bringing what the company describes as honesty, integrity, resilience and interpersonal communication to client and candidate relationships.

The delivery side includes Olivia Mason, a delivery consultant whose work covers talent sourcing, candidate assessment and client relationships; and Dan Austin, a recruitment consultant who previously spent a couple of years recruiting in the fire and security sector at sister company Peel Technical, focused on the UK and Irish markets, before moving to Peel Construction to concentrate on contract recruitment.

Support functions are led by Nina Walker (Head of Marketing, with over 11 years in marketing, six of them in recruitment), Emma Conneely (Head of Payroll and Accounts, 11 years in the field) and Rachael Keoghan (Head of Compliance and Candidate Care, responsible for candidate compliance and care).

Group context

The site identifies Peel Solutions as the group leader and Peel Technical as a sister company, indicating that Peel Construction Recruitment operates within a wider recruitment group rather than as a standalone business.
