Tell me a little bit more about what is Fircroft , who is behind Fircroft and a short history of the company .
Here at Fircroft we define ourselves as a global workforce solutions provider to the technical engineering sectors ; which , put simply , means that we provide recruitment , contractor logistics and outsourcing and consultancy services to the biggest engineering companies in the world .
Fircroft was established in 1970 by John Johnson , an experience and respected engineer . John ’ s son Johnathan is now CEO and the company has experienced significant growth and expansion in recent years with Fircroft now providing services to the Oil & Gas , Petrochemical & Chemical , Mining & Minerals , ICT , Infrastructure & Construction , Power , Nuclear & Utilities and Automotive sectors .
What can Fircroft offer to the mining industry ?
Fircroft has consistently pioneered innovative workforce solutions since our establishment . We ’ ve become the experts at managed service provision , workforce planning , contractor logistics , and utilisation or detailed management information systems to deliver meaningful gains in performance , efficiency and effectiveness . So we feel that we can apply these insights and experiences globally to the mining industry to great effect as we have done in the oil and gas industry .
If you could put a number to it , how many workers has Fircroft helped put into the mining industry over the last three years ?
Whilst we can ’ t place an exact figure on this , our involvement in the mining industry has been a growing part of our overall business portfolio . We have , and continue to develop , excellent relationships with many of the biggest mining houses however ; and with the acquisition of One Key Resources we hope to expand our overall footprint in the mining industry and overall numbers of workers placed .
There is a negative tide of thought within the mining industry , that there is a decline in demand / jobs
