Skimmers are ten a penny but I guess there's an element of truth to it, I speak to a few gaffers across a few trades and there all struggling to find good reliable lads paying good rates., subbies and/or on the books. I'm turning stuff away because I've a full order book and I can't find decent lads and because it's time of year, and I don't want loads on the go in winter. They'll be a shortage of trades in a few years, the last government cut apprentices and encouraged the university route, and with the amount of new houses they'll have to build over the next few years.
