Frequently Asked Questions

What types of logistics roles do we fill?

Our logistics division covers the full spectrum of transport and warehousing positions by placing HGV Class 1 and Class 2 drivers for long-haul and regional routes, 7.5 tonne and 3.5 tonne drivers for local deliveries, and specialist operators, including forklift truck (FLT) and powered pallet truck (PPT) personnel. Additionally, we supply transport planners, logistics managers, and collection and delivery drivers across London's warehouse districts. This comprehensive coverage allows businesses to consolidate their temporary staffing needs with a single, reliable partner.

How do we verify driver qualifications?

Every candidate undergoes comprehensive DVLA licence verification before placement to confirm driving records, validate licence categories, and ensure they meet the minimum experience requirement of 2 years' licence holding with at least 6 months of consecutive driving experience. This dual verification process ensures compliance with transport regulations and reduces liability for client businesses, mitigating risks associated with unqualified personnel. Our rigorous screening protocols are designed to protect our clients.
