HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Ilford
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Ilford and London, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Cover for Ilford operators
Around Ilford the depots sit close together and the rounds run long, so absence in one operation is felt immediately in the next. That is the shape of the temporary market right across Greater London.
Transport around Ilford works off the M25 orbital, the A406 North Circular, the A13 and A40, the Heathrow airfreight belt, the rail freight site at Barking and the deep-water container terminals at DP World London Gateway and Tilbury, with volume concentrated in the Thames-side wharves and terminals at Purfleet-on-Thames, Belvedere and Dagenham. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly construction, builders' merchant and waste operators on tipper, hiab and skip work.
Construction and fit-out work across central London runs to fixed possession windows and site access slots, creating short bursts of tipper, hiab and moffett work that no operator staffs permanently.
Early AM chilled starts between 02:00 and 05:00 for grocery and convenience, with the round expected back before the afternoon restrictions bite.
Most cover requests arrive for the wrong reason. A driver rings in sick at 04:30 and the load is booked for 06:00 — at that point the agency is choosing between the wrong person and nobody. Standing patterns booked a week ahead fill; emergencies at dawn frequently do not and an agency that pretends otherwise is one that sends the wrong person.
Transport Temps covers Ilford as a national agency. Drivers and warehouse staff are sourced against your specific booking, checked before they are confirmed and travel to your site for the shift. You get the person who fits the seat rather than whoever happened to be nearest.
What we check
Every check below happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive.
Long-running cover crosses the 12-week Agency Workers Regulations threshold, at which point equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies. It is a planning question, not a surprise, so we show you the week count as it builds.
These are checked at registration and then re-checked on a rolling 90-day cycle, because a licence that was clean in March tells you nothing about a driver in September.
Pay and rates
Weekly, consolidated and itemised by shift. If a line is wrong you reject the timesheet with a reason before it is billed, rather than paying it and reclaiming afterwards.
The honest answer is that speed depends on how specific the seat is. General warehouse cover moves fastest. A specific licence category, a site passport or an unusual start time all narrow the pool and lengthen the lead time.

Good to know
What temporary staff can you supply in Ilford?
Everything from a single van driver for a day to a warehouse crew for a peak week: Class 1 and 2, 7.5 tonne, van, forklift and general warehouse. ADR, HIAB and tanker are national.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Ilford?
Every worker clears the same gate: DVLA licence check, Driver CPC and tachograph card validity, right to work from original documents and two references. Anyone who fails a line of it is not offered the booking.
How does booking temporary staff in Ilford work?
It starts with the seat and the shift pattern. What happens next is the part most agencies skip: the qualification check runs before confirmation, not after the worker is already at the gate.
