HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Chatham
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Chatham and the South East, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Cover for Chatham operators
Perishable freight shapes a good deal of the work near Chatham. Imported produce, chilled goods and cut flowers all move on shelf-life rather than on convenience and the load does not wait while a driver is found.
Transport around Chatham 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 Solent estates around Southampton, Eastleigh and Fareham plus ABP Solent Gateway at Marchwood. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly chilled produce importers and packers moving fruit, salad and flowers on tight shelf-life.
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.
Shift cover is a planning problem dressed up as an emergency. Absence, holiday and peak are all foreseeable weeks ahead and the operations that never seem to be short are the ones treating cover as a standing arrangement rather than a series of crises.
Working nationally is what makes Chatham 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.
What we check
Checked before the shift, not after the incident. Each item below is verified at registration and the licence checks repeat on a 90-day cycle.
Long-running cover crosses the 12-week Agency Workers Regulations threshold, at which point equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies. It is a planning question, not a surprise, so we show you the week count as it builds.
Nothing is taken on trust and nothing is checked once and forgotten — licence entitlements are re-checked every 90 days for as long as a worker is on our books.
Pay and rates
You get one invoice a week, not one per shift. Each line traces back to a specific assignment and an approved timesheet, so a query can be settled by looking at the line rather than by an argument about what was signed.
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.

Good to know
What temporary staff can you supply in Chatham?
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 Chatham?
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.
