HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Swadlincote
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Swadlincote and the East Midlands, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
How we work with Swadlincote operators
Operators around Swadlincote compete for the same pool of shift-experienced warehouse staff, which is why rates here start moving earlier in peak than they do in most regions.
Transport around Swadlincote works off the M1, A14, A42, A46, A50 and A5, East Midlands Airport — the UK's largest pure-freight airport — and the rail freight terminals at DIRFT and SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway, with volume concentrated in Dove Valley Park at Foston and the A50 corridor between Derby and Stoke. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly express parcel and air-freight network operators running overnight sortation.
The overnight express networks based at East Midlands Airport run their whole operation in a window of a few hours, so sortation, loading and shuttle work is concentrated into nights that must be fully staffed or not run at all.
Twilight picking from mid-afternoon into late evening, feeding the night despatch.
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.
How cover for Swadlincote works: you send the seat, the dates and the shift times. We source against that requirement from a national pool, complete the licence and right-to-work checks, then confirm a named worker who travels to your site.
Licence and right-to-work checks
This is the gate a worker passes before they are offered your booking. Failing any line of it stops the confirmation.
Under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010, a worker reaches parity on pay and basic conditions after 12 weeks in the same role. Breaks in service affect the count, which is exactly why it needs tracking rather than estimating.
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.
What drivers are paid
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.

Worth knowing
What temporary staff can you supply in Swadlincote?
Two halves. Driving — Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne, van and multi-drop. Warehouse — forklift, operatives, pickers and packers. Specialist and ticketed work sits with the national desks.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Swadlincote?
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 Swadlincote 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.
