HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Gravesend
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Gravesend and the South East, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Temporary staffing for Gravesend
Gravesend sits in a part of the country where freight timing is set by somebody else's timetable — a sailing, a shuttle departure or a customs release — and drivers are held or released accordingly. Temporary cover here has to absorb that.
Transport around Gravesend works off the M25, M3, M4, M20, M23 and M2, Gatwick Airport, the Channel ferry terminal at Dover, the shuttle terminal at Folkestone, DP World Southampton and the inland border facility at Sevington, with volume concentrated in the M4 corridor parks at Reading, Bracknell, Slough and Theale. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly chilled produce importers and packers moving fruit, salad and flowers on tight shelf-life.
Aerospace and manufacturing supply chains around the Solent and the Thames Valley run to build schedules, so line-feed and goods-in cover is wanted for the length of a programme and no longer.
Nights on trunk work between the south-coast ports and the Midlands parks, out and back inside a shift.
The most expensive worker is the one who arrives without the right ticket. A forklift certificate from an unaccredited provider, a lapsed DQC, a counterbalance card presented for reach truck work — each one either stops the shift or creates an exposure nobody priced in.
Gravesend bookings are filled from a national pool, sourced against the specific role and the specific site. Licence entitlement, right to work and references are verified before anyone is confirmed to you. The worker travels in ready to start the shift you booked.
What gets verified
The list below is what gets verified before confirmation. It is deliberately auditable, because your own compliance team may well want to see it.
Equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies after 12 weeks in the same role under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We hold the count per worker per role and raise it with you before the threshold rather than on the invoice that follows it.
Each is verified against an original or a live source rather than a photocopy and the licence check repeats every 90 days for as long as the worker is available to us.
How and when we pay
One weekly invoice covering every approved shift, with the assignment reference on each line. The provenance matters more than the format: you should be able to trace any figure back to a specific person on a specific day.
We aim to confirm or decline within the hour on a same-day request, because an unanswered booking is worse for you than a no. Next-day requests are confirmed the same working day.

Your questions
What temporary staff can you supply in Gravesend?
Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, 7.5 tonne, van and multi-drop, forklift drivers on counterbalance and reach and warehouse operatives. The ticketed specialisms are handled nationally, not booked as local cover.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Gravesend?
Licence categories are checked against DVLA records with a share code, CPC and tacho expiries are confirmed, right to work is evidenced and references are taken. The record is auditable, so your own compliance team can see it.
How does booking temporary staff in Gravesend work?
Four things get it moving: what seat, how many, which days, what hours. We come back with a yes or a no rather than a maybe and nobody is confirmed until their checks are clear.
