HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Wigan
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Wigan and the North West, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Agency cover in Wigan
The warehousing footprint around Wigan keeps growing and every new site opens by drawing experienced staff from the sites already there. The gap it leaves behind is the one that gets covered by agency.
Transport around Wigan works off the M6, M62, M60, M56, M61 and M58, Manchester and Liverpool airports, the Liverpool2 and Royal Seaforth container terminals, the Manchester Ship Canal and the Irish Sea freight port at Heysham, with volume concentrated in 3MG at Widnes and the Runcorn chemical sites either side of the Mersey. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly e-commerce fulfilment and returns processing operations.
Grocery distribution across the region flexes around promotions, bank holidays and any weekend of decent weather, none of which is carried in permanent headcount.
Continental four-on four-off across the larger contract logistics sites, days then nights.
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.
We supply Wigan from a national operation. That means the pool is wider than any single town could offer: licence categories, shift patterns and site experience are matched to what you actually booked. The worker is fully checked before you are given a name.
Checks that happen every time
These are the checks that decide whether someone is confirmed. They are run against originals or live sources, not against a photocopy in a file.
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
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.
It depends entirely on notice. A booking placed the afternoon before is usually fillable; one placed at 05:00 for an 06:00 start rarely is, whatever any agency tells you. We will always give you a straight answer on the call rather than a maybe.

The detail
What temporary staff can you supply in Wigan?
The seats that go unfilled most often: Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, 7.5 tonne and multi-drop van, forklift and general warehouse. Qualification-led work like tanker or Moffett is a national desk rather than a local booking.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Wigan?
The gate is the same for every booking: DVLA licence verification, Driver CPC currency, digital tachograph card validity, right to work and two work references. It is completed before a name reaches you and repeated on a 90-day cycle.
How does booking temporary staff in Wigan work?
You send the requirement, we confirm capacity, the compliance gate runs, then the worker attends. Hours are logged against the booking rather than reconstructed afterwards from a paper docket.
