Craig, sadly I think small construction related companies will be hard hit in the looming recession. The construction industry always suffers in a recession as customers, domestic and non-domestic, scale back any building work. House sales will be stagnant causing a contraction of home improvement works.

Many of those working in construction are self-employed. Although the government have promised self-employed workers 80% of their earnings, low pay and especially those who do cash-in-hand work will mean they will badly suffer.
