Young workers cutting and fixing reinforcement on a live construction site
Labour. Workforce. Recruitment.

More than labour. More than recruitment.

Some people need workers. Some people need a chance. LabourLok brings them together.

Our story

LabourLok started with someone who needed a chance.

Our founder was NEET as a teenager: not in education, employment or training. The idea for LabourLok began at 17. At 18, he is building a business designed to create opportunities for other young people.

The UK has a skills shortage and a generation of young people who can't get through the door. LabourLok does the work in the middle: finding the people, getting them ready, putting them on site and staying with them.

What we do

A different kind of labour company.

LabourLok supplies flexible labour across construction, trades, security, facilities management, events and exhibitions, shop fit-out, landscapes, highways and civils.

But we're not interested in simply filling shifts.

We want to build careers.

Our initial focus is young people aged 17 to 25, particularly those who are NEET (not in education, employment or training), entering work for the first time, returning to employment or facing barriers to getting started. We operate throughout the UK and, where appropriate, Europe.

Social value & NEET employment

You're already buying labour. Make that spend do more.

Fill genuine workforce gaps. Create genuine opportunities. Deliver measurable social impact.

You're not creating jobs for the sake of social value. You're filling genuine workforce needs while creating genuine social value, with reporting aligned to your own contractual commitments.
