At Precision Recruitment Group, we understand that working in the construction industry comes with unique challenges — physically demanding tasks, long hours, and high-pressure environments can take a toll on mental health.
As a business that specialises in construction recruitment, we’re committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our workforce, candidates, and clients across the UK.
We do this through two core initiatives:
1. Andy’s Man Club – Men’s Mental Health Support. We are proud supporters of Andy’s Man Club, a leading Men’s Mental Health Charity that provides safe, supportive spaces for men to talk, listen, and be heard.
Andy’s Man Club empowers men to speak openly about the challenges they face — from anxiety and stress to depression and personal struggles. The weekly group sessions are free to attend, completely confidential, and actively challenge the stigma surrounding men’s mental health in construction.
Whether you need help or just someone to talk to — you are not alone.

💬 From Our Director, Carl Bennion:
“The construction industry is well known for its physically demanding and stressful work environment, which can have a significant impact on workers' mental health and wellbeing.
Choosing Andy’s Man Club as one of our main charity partners — alongside launching the PRG Wellbeing Programme — helps us tackle these challenges head-on and actively promote a culture of support, respect, and appreciation.
As a company, we’re huge champions of mental health — and this is just one of the many ways we show our people that we care.”
