Andrews Recruitment Group

Andrews Recruitment Group (ARG) is one of the UK's leading aggregates and building materials recruitment agencies, founded in 2024 by Tom Andrews. The company specialises in placing operational, technical, maintenance and commercial talent across quarries, ready-mix and asphalt plants, and surfacing contractors on both contract and permanent bases. ARG's core promise is distinctive: the company does not simply provide candidates, but delivers capacity, matching the right people to immediate staffing needs through contract and interim placements or long-term capacity through permanent hires backed by a 12-week replacement guarantee. All contract supply is fully compliant, with umbrella, PAYE and IR35-assessed options available.

Beyond its flagship aggregates and building materials sector, Andrews Recruitment Group specialises in three additional core sectors. Industrial Engineering recruitment focuses on placing automation engineers, maintenance engineers, electrical engineers and manufacturing managers across UK industrial and manufacturing businesses, addressing critical demand with urgent vacancies nationwide. M&E Engineering recruitment covers mechanical and electrical engineering roles for critical infrastructure, data centres, commercial fit-out and FM contractors across the UK. Mental Health recruitment places clinical leaders, psychologists, therapists and mental health practitioners across NHS trusts, private providers and independent hospitals throughout the UK, with gold standard sector expertise and deep candidate networks.

Andrews Recruitment Group operates UK-wide, recruiting across the entire United Kingdom including the quarrying and aggregates heartlands of Yorkshire (Leeds, Sheffield), the East and West Midlands (Nottingham, Birmingham), the North West (Manchester) and the South West (Bristol and the Mendips), as well as London, Kent, Scotland and Wales. The company differentiates itself through sector-specific expertise rather than generalist recruitment, real-time talent cloud technology that gives candidates pre-market access to exclusive opportunities, transparent partnership-led engagement models, and experience across agency, in-house and RPO environments. ARG's commitment to accuracy over volume, combined with rapid turnaround times (24 to 72 hours for contractor shortlists, 5 to 10 working days for permanent candidates), makes it the preferred choice for businesses seeking specialist talent with genuine sector knowledge.
