Testimonials

Real Stories, Real Results

“I have had A1 Concrete and Recruitment working with us on Waikato expressway for 8 months. They responded quickly to a call for help when another firm let us down and have jumped in to help with 2.5ks of footpath and finishing work on the project. I have found them to be reliable and organised to get stuck in to get the job done - no job too big or small. I highly recommend them for future work, well done guys and thanks for your help.”
