Since 2002, construction has remained a core specialist sector for Aspirare Recruitment. For over two decades, we have partnered with leading organisations across the UK, building high-performing teams to support projects of every scale. From local developments to large national infrastructure programmes, our focus has always been the same, delivering dependable, skilled professionals who keep projects moving forward.
Addressing the UK Construction Skills Shortage
The UK construction market continues to face significant labour shortages. Recent 2025 industry data shows that 38% of businesses have been unable to pursue growth opportunities due to workforce gaps, while 12% have experienced contraction as a direct result of recruitment challenges. Construction remains one of the most affected sectors, second only to Health and Social Care. Skilled trades, including electrical work and plumbing, are experiencing sustained shortages, placing additional strain on productivity, timelines, and quality standards.
These workforce challenges make it increasingly difficult to secure qualified, reliable personnel. Tight deadlines, rising costs, evolving compliance requirements, and retention pressures only add to the complexity. Without the right talent in place, projects face delays, financial risk, and reputational impact.
