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.

“Been with 1st Step for 17 months on the same job. Not one issue with pay in this time, and every month a phone call to see how you are doing.
Most importantly they pick up your call if you have any queries and get back to you when they say they will.
Friendly and professional service and have good clients to work for.”
