About from company website

SLS Construction (Southern) Ltd, established in 2009, specialises in supplying skilled labour, plant, and materials for civil engineering and groundworks projects across Southern England. The company was founded by Richard Allen, who drew on his 15 years of experience with major UK construction firms to address issues of reliability, service, and skillset shortages in labour supply. They offer a comprehensive groundworks service, including foundations, drainage, and external works, structuring packages to suit client needs whether labour-only or a full subcontract arrangement.

SLS emphasizes proactive planning, resourcing, and project management, with supervisors on-site to ensure smooth operations and timely issue resolution. Their services extend to maintenance contracts for main contractors, covering a wide range of repair and reinstatement activities in public realms and managed highway networks. SLS Construction is committed to understanding client requirements from day one, with rigorous onboarding processes and regular site visits to ensure contracts perform to expectation.

They also invest in regular training for their operatives to help develop their careers, addressing the growing skills gap in the industry. Their approach focuses on providing a single point of accountability for groundworks packages, simplifying coordination and programme management.
