HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Daventry
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Daventry and the East Midlands, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Why Daventry employers use an agency
Operators around Daventry 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 Daventry 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 rail-connected intermodal operators and the road legs that feed them.
Intermodal work rises and falls with container volumes at the coastal ports, so the road legs out of the rail terminals need cover that flexes week to week.
Nights in the distribution sheds on a fixed four-night pattern, with the fifth night covered by agency when it runs.
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 Daventry 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.
Compliance and vetting
This is the gate a worker passes before they are offered your booking. Failing any line of it stops the confirmation.
Equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies after 12 weeks in the same role under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We hold the count per worker per role and raise it with you before the threshold rather than on the invoice that follows it.
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.
How pay works
Hours are logged against the booking, submitted as a digital timesheet and sent to you to approve or reject with a reason. Approved timesheets roll into one consolidated weekly invoice with every shift itemised, rather than a pile of paper dockets at month end.
Next day is what we work to as standard. Same day happens when a suitable worker is free and the site is reachable and we will say which of those two you are getting rather than leaving you to find out at the gate.

Common questions

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.
