Warehouse, office and hospitality staff standing together, ready for work

Temporary Staffing Agency for UK Employers

Short-staffed and losing hours chasing agencies? We place vetted temporary and temp-to-perm workers across warehousing, office support and hospitality. Ring us, tell us what you need, and one named consultant will sort it, usually within the working week you ask.

  • Vetted & right-to-work checked
  • One named consultant
  • Same-week cover
  • Roles filled across warehouse, office & hospitality
  • Consultants who know your site
  • Compliance handled for you
  • Cover for early shifts and weekends

Temporary Staffing Solutions

Six service lines, one agency to ring. Whether you need a picker tomorrow or someone to trial before you hire, you'll deal with the same person each time.

  • Warehouse & Industrial

    Pickers, packers, forklift and counterbalance operatives, production line staff, loaders and night shifts. A reliable warehouse agency when the rota has a hole in it.

  • Office & Administration

    Receptionists, administrators, data entry, customer service advisors and temporary PAs. Short-notice cover for the front desk or the back office.

    Book office staff →
  • Hospitality & Catering

    Waiting staff, kitchen porters, chefs, bar staff, and event and function teams. Weekend cover from a catering staff agency that picks up the phone.

    Book catering staff →
  • Retail & Events

    Sales assistants, merchandisers, stockroom, promo and exhibition staff. Extra hands for seasonal peaks, without a permanent hire.

    Book retail staff →
  • Logistics & Distribution

    Drivers' mates, dispatch, inventory and peak-period surge staffing for distribution centres. Volume hiring that doesn't turn into chaos.

    Book logistics staff →
  • Temp-to-Perm Placements

    Trial a worker on temp, then convert to permanent once they've proven themselves, without the recruitment fee risk of a blind hire.

Hiring Should Not Feel Like a Gamble

  • One named consultant

    The same person every time, who knows your site, your shift patterns and your standards. No explaining yourself twice.

  • Everyone is vetted before you see them

    We meet candidates, verify right-to-work documents and take up references ourselves. You get people who can actually do the job, not a CV forwarded blind.

  • Fast, honest cover

    Ring us, tell us what you need, and we tell you straight whether we can fill it. No false promises to win the booking.

  • Compliance and payroll handled

    PAYE, insurance, holiday accrual and timesheets are our problem, not your HR department's.

Book Staff in Three Steps

  1. Tell us what you need

    Role, shift times, location, duration. One call or the online form, whichever suits.

  2. We shortlist and brief

    You get candidates matched to the brief, already checked for right-to-work and references.

  3. They start. You stay in control

    Confirm timesheets, extend, or convert to permanent whenever you're ready.

Industries We Cover

  • Warehousing
  • Logistics & distribution
  • Manufacturing & production
  • Office & business support
  • Retail
  • Hospitality & catering
  • Events
  • Facilities & cleaning
  • Education support
  • Healthcare support

Whether you run a busy fulfilment floor, a production line, a hotel kitchen or a front-of-house desk, we supply the labour to keep shifts covered and rotas intact. Our industrial recruitment services and office agency teams work from the same standards, so you get the same checks on a night-shift loader as on a temporary administrator.

Questions Employers Ask Us

How quickly can you supply temporary staff?

Often within the same week, and sometimes sooner. Ring us with the role, shift times and site, and we'll tell you straight whether we can fill it. Same-day and next-day cover is strongest in London and the South East; other regions are usually booked further ahead.

What does it cost to hire temp staff through an agency?

You pay an hourly rate that depends on the role, the shift pattern and how long you need someone. The rate covers PAYE, employer's National Insurance, holiday accrual, insurance and payroll admin, so there's no separate admin bill. Ring us with the details and we'll quote before anyone starts.

Do you handle right-to-work checks and references?

Yes. We meet candidates, check their right-to-work documents and take up references ourselves before you see a name. If a role needs a DBS check or a specific licence, tell us up front and we'll check that too.

Can we take someone on permanently after a temp placement?

Yes. You can trial someone on a temporary basis and move them onto your payroll when you're ready. A conversion fee may apply depending on how long they've worked with you, and we'll agree it with you before the placement starts.

Which areas of the UK do you cover?

We place staff across the UK, from London and the South East to the Midlands, the North and Scotland. The full list of areas is on this page. If you're somewhere else, ask us anyway and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

What's the difference between temporary, temp-to-perm and contract staffing?

Temporary means a worker on our payroll covering a defined gap. Temp-to-perm starts the same way, with an agreed route onto your payroll. Contract staffing is usually a longer fixed-term arrangement for a specific project or skill.

Questions From People Looking for Work

How do I apply?

Browse current jobs on our All Jobs page, or ring us on 020 8629 1195 and tell us what you are after. We will arrange a time to meet you and check your documents.

Do I need experience?

Not always. Some roles ask for experience or a licence, such as forklift or food hygiene, and others do not. Tell us what you have done and we will say honestly what fits.

Do I have to pay anything?

No. You never pay us to find you work.

Can a temporary job become a permanent one?

Sometimes, yes. Some employers use temporary work as a trial. If it goes well and they want to keep you, we will talk you through moving onto their payroll.

What documents do I need?

Proof of your right to work in the UK and photo ID. For some roles we will also ask for licences, certificates or a DBS check, and we will tell you which up front.
