At Orama Contracts, we’re not your average recruitment agency. We’re a construction-born, people-driven operation built from real site experience and focused on one thing: delivering the workforce that keeps your project moving.
The word Orama means vision, and that’s exactly what we bring to the construction industry. We don’t just react to labour shortages, we anticipate needs, build relationships, and deliver project-ready talent with speed, precision, and care.
Our journey started on-site, not in a boardroom.
Founder Daniel Joannides grew up in a family-run construction business, spending his early years hands-on, learning the trades, understanding the pressure of deadlines, and gaining a deep respect for the people who make buildings happen.
By the time he turned 20, Daniel had worked on over 200 projects across London and the Home Counties, earned his Gas Safe certification, and developed a reputation for practical problem-solving on-site. But through it all, one thing stood out: the right team makes or breaks a project.
Frustrated by the gap between recruitment firms and real-world site demands, Daniel launched Orama Contracts, a recruitment agency created by tradesmen, for the construction industry.
To connect construction firms with skilled, reliable, and fully-vetted workers without the hassle.
To give tradespeople access to consistent, fair, and fulfilling work opportunities.
To raise the standard of construction recruitment by keeping it simple, fast, and human.
From new builds to renovations, we supply labour that delivers from foundations to finishing touches.
Skilled teams for offices, retail, hospitality and full fit-outs, reliable, vetted, and site-ready.
Labour and plant operators for roads, groundwork, and major infrastructure works of all kinds.
We’ve lived the construction life on tools, on site, and under pressure. That real-world experience means we understand your needs better than any generic recruiter ever could.
Need boots on site by tomorrow? No problem. Our team works fast to fill urgent roles within hours minimising downtime and keeping your project on track.
Every candidate is thoroughly vetted and fully compliant CSCS-checked, referenced, and ready to hit the ground running.
From London to Liverpool, we place workers across the UK with the same speed, reliability, and local focus our clients count on.
Temp, perm, or subcontracting we tailor solutions to your scope and budget, helping you scale your workforce without the stress.
As part of the Orama Group, we offer access to larger subcontract teams, trade packages, and integrated solutions beyond just staffing.
