HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Kendal
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Kendal and the North West, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Temporary staffing for Kendal
Dairy and agriculture run seven days a week around Kendal, which puts weekend and bank holiday cover requirements into an area with a thin driver pool.
Transport around Kendal works off the M6, the A66 trans-Pennine route, the A590, A595 and A69, the ports at Workington, Silloth and Barrow and the West Coast Main Line, with volume concentrated in the Kendal and Mintsfeet estates beside the M6 and A591. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly nuclear and defence supply chains with their own vetting and access requirements.
Timber and aggregate haulage follows extraction and construction programmes, arriving in blocks rather than at a steady weekly rate.
Nights on the M6 trunk legs south to Lancashire and the Midlands and north to the Central Belt.
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.
Kendal 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
None of this is a formality. A worker who fails any of these does not get offered the shift and occasionally that means we hand a booking back rather than fill it badly.
The Agency Workers Regulations 2010 give an agency worker equal treatment on pay and basic conditions after 12 weeks in the same role with the same hirer. That clock starts on the first shift and we surface the count so it is never a surprise on the invoice.
Every one of those happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive at the gate. Licence checks are re-run every 90 days rather than kept on file and assumed.
How and when we pay
The timesheet comes to you first. You approve it or reject it with a reason and only approved lines reach an invoice — which means the invoice should never be the first time you see a number you disagree with.
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 Kendal?
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 Kendal?
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 Kendal work?
Role, headcount, dates, shift, postcode. We confirm what is coverable, complete the checks, then the hours run through a digital timesheet you approve or reject with a reason.
