HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Newhaven
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Newhaven and the South East, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Agency cover in Newhaven
Newhaven is close enough to London to lose staff to it and far enough out to run its own regional distribution, which makes short-notice cover a standing feature of the local market rather than a seasonal one.
Transport around Newhaven 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 M25 and M23 sites around Crawley, Gatwick and Redhill. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly retail and grocery distribution centres serving the South East and the London fringe.
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.
Every unfilled seat has a knock-on. A missing warehouse operative slows a pick face; a missing driver strands a vehicle, a load and a delivery slot. That is why the honest answer on capacity matters more than the optimistic one.
Working nationally is what makes Newhaven cover reliable. A booking here draws on the whole pool. The worker is matched to the licence category and shift the site needs, with every check complete before the confirmation reaches you.
Checks that happen every time
Every check below happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive.
Workers on assignment for 12 weeks in the same role qualify for equal treatment on pay and basic conditions under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We track that week count from the first shift and tell you before it lands, rather than after.
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 holiday
Everything runs through the timesheet. Hours logged, sent to you, approved or rejected with a reason, then billed once a week in a single consolidated invoice.
For a standing weekly pattern, cover is arranged in advance and the question does not really arise. For ad-hoc shifts, next day is the standard and same day is best-efforts, agreed on the call.

The detail
What temporary staff can you supply in Newhaven?
HGV Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, 7.5 tonne and van drivers, forklift drivers and warehouse operatives. Specialist work such as ADR, HIAB, tanker and PSV is handled by our national desks rather than locally.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Newhaven?
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 Newhaven 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.
