The Spades Story.
Built from the ground up.
In 2016, Spades was founded by a labourer.
I, John, started as a labourer in Australia in 2015 with ZERO experience.
The desire to stay in Australia fueled me. So I've moved through the ranks to spotter, then excavator operator, team leader, and finally, Spades director.
The journey was an eye-opener.
Seeing firsthand the disconnect between labour-hire companies and their workforce, I saw the effects of undervalued workers – a cycle of dissatisfaction and underperformance.
In 2016, driven by a vision of change and with a proactive mindset, I founded Spades Labour Hire in Sydney.
The inicial goal was simple.
To forge close relationships with our workers to ensure they not only excel but feel valued and connected.
The strategy was new.
By bringing new tech to an outated industry we would always be competitve while providing an exeptional service.
⚡ The result? Bloody brilliant.
This philosophy, our rock-solid foundation, has truly delivered the goods.
Making sure our workers know they're appreciated has sparked them to pull off top-notch work for our clients.
The feedback's been ace - clients chuffed with the outcomes are constantly singing our praises to other potential clients.
The Tech.
That's been the icing on the cake, enabling us to offer a snappier service and a smoother experience for workers, clients and our office team.
We've been all in on this approach ever since.
The Citizenship.
Awarded in 2022.

Spades office team
JOHN MACEDO
Director and Admin.
He joined the construction industry as a labourer when he arrived in Australia. He learned how to oxy cut, weld and operate machines until he opened Spades and started to run his own teams. Being on the field is what shaped Spades' vision.
ANDERSON DARSKI
Contract Admin and Allocator
Anderson did labouring for bricklayers for years. That's how we know a guy is tough. When we hired him we didn't know about his management background. Anderson showed exceptional skills and became the bridge between clients and Spades.
