Very very bad Worked for PCR for 4 months, was good job and pay was okay but had to chase up weekend pay and missed pay few times waiting months for pay, and then when asking for new work from them they completely ignore you and provide not accurate information about the work, Very poor and individuals involved are very unprofessional.

Worked for them on and off, for 3 years. Always got paid, always have you back. Even gave me a lift to work and picked me up after. Niggles can be ironed out. Lol.

I would avoid them. I agreed with them to go for 3 days cover on a Friday last week for the following week. It was on low rate and 3 days with a day gap. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I had offers for permanent job over the weekend, but I kept my word and refused offers as had taken this job already. However I went on site Monday morning 7:30 and as soon as I arrived I had a phone call telling me the job was cancelled.
No other explanations until I left a review in here and Sean fired my phone on Tuesday morning to convince me to remove the review. However he still couldn't persist his promises and this is my honest review for my own experience with these guys. Thanks for reading.

I just googled PCR and thought it would be fitting to leave a review. I have been very fortunate to know PCR for some years. They have constantly placed me in very suitable appointments whenever we have contacted each other. Not only in a white collar opportunities, but their access to very capable trade and labour personnel at very reasonable rates has only made my projects flow with ease. I'd like to especially thank Stuart Ward for his continued effort to supply labour and opportunities swiftly and professionally.
