Temporary and permanent staff for warehouse, logistics, production, transport and commercial sites across the West Midlands. Ten people or two hundred. The checks are the same either way.
Natalie owns the business and runs the accounts. That is not a slogan, it is just how small an agency this is.
A dedicated account manager with out-of-hours support. You will know their name. They will know your shift patterns, your gate code and which line runs short first.
Interviewed by phone, then face to face. Work history checked. Two references minimum, right to work verified, DBS where the role calls for it, PPE issued, manual handling covered. All of it before a first shift, not after a problem.
Weekly payroll run in house, timesheets consolidated into one document. Your finance team receives a single invoice.
Seasonal demand is not a surprise. We agree numbers, rates and shift patterns in advance, so the week you need to double a shift is a phone call rather than a scramble.
“As an owner-managed agency, I remain actively involved in every relationship we build, both with candidates and employers alike.”

We do not forward CVs out of a database. The people who turn up at your gate come from a local pool we have interviewed, referenced and inducted ourselves. It is slower at our end. It is also why they are still there in week six.
Most sites quote a margin. That is not the number that matters. Move the sliders to see what re-hiring and unfilled shifts take out of your operation over a year.
Money leaving the business through re-hiring and cover, on top of what you already pay an agency.
Natalie will send your figures broken down by line, current pay rates for your roles in your area, plus where she thinks the biggest gap on your site actually is. She writes these herself. No sales sequence.
Your figures stay private. No third parties, ever.
Temporary, permanent and large-event cover across the operations that keep this region moving.
Twenty minutes usually settles whether we are a fit for your site. If we are not the right agency for you, we will say so on that call, before you waste a peak finding out.
