About Us
Gaia Newton Associates (GNA) was established in the 1980s as The LJS Partnership, originally specialising in canteen and site setup services. It quickly evolved into a dedicated labour hire agency.
Over time, the partnership structure changed, eventually leaving one of the original directors at the helm. In 2015, with the arrival of new senior leadership, the company was rebranded as Gaia Newton Associates Limited.
This rebrand marked the beginning of a new chapter, with GNA expanding into new sectors, international markets, and a broader range of services. The introduction of fresh talent and forward-thinking leadership has positioned GNA as a trusted partner in construction recruitment.
Today, we enjoy strong relationships with some of the most prominent names in the construction industry, operating across multiple disciplines and countries. Our core values remain central to our success—setting us apart from the competition and driving our continued growth.
