Another year of Supporting the Lighthouse Club

We have renewed our support to the Lighthouse Club In March. You may see from our posts this is a charity 1st Step Solutions are very proud to support now more than ever. Our support for Lighthouse commenced when a candidate working for us was going through a hard time and the client contacted us to ask what support we offered, and the answer was simply not enough ! We approached lighthouse and was astounded by the support they offer the construction industry and wanted to be a part of it and give back a little.
