    Get in touch with companies house (http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/) & see if they're still trading. If so they should have a current address for them.

    Ignore my previous post, they're registered in Holland so Companies House won't have anything on them. You'll have drawn a blank with Google cos you've spelled Uitzendbureau incorrectly. Here's their head office:

    Smit Uitzendbureau BV
    H A Lorentzstraat 4
    3331 EE ZWIJNDRECHT
    NEDERLAND

    tel: +78 6202800

    Someone there will have the info you need about the UK branch (if it's still open).

    Good luck,

    It's from the Dutch equivalent of companies house. There are no other companies with the same name so it'll be correct. An "Uitzendbureau" is an employment agency so the chap would have been recruiting for a 3rd party hence him looking for tradesmen.
