Company History
Our Heritage
In 1992, the face of construction labor support was the conventional "temporary laborer." But that face was about to change.
A commercial electrical contractor in Northeast Ohio, Joseph O. Wesley, had recognized first-hand the vast need for a new construction staffing paradigm: one in which a contingent construction labor force of superior quality could supplement a contractor's core workforce in order to level out workload peaks and valleys, and better match workload to workers. To achieve it, Mr. Wesley – still President/CEO – founded Tradesmen International. Two decades later, the company has assembled what is recognized as North America's premier construction workforce, providing thousands of high-caliber, safety-minded craftsmen to businesses across the industrial spectrum.
Our Mission
Tradesmen's mission is to partner with our clients, never losing sight of our own roots in contracting to help each client complete their projects on time, on or under budget, with the highest levels of safety, quality and construction labor productivity.
