    The calls warehouse managers make to us

    If any of these sound like this week, fill in the form above or ring the depot.

    Your staff no-showed?

    We keep a bench of inducted casuals who live near the M4 and M7 corridor, so a replacement can be on site for the next shift rather than next week.

    Down a forklift driver?

    Our LF and LO operators have their licences sighted and checked against the SafeWork register before we send them. You get a driver, not a paperwork problem.

    Peak season coming?

    Tell us your volumes and dates. We build the crew in advance, run the inductions and send the same faces back each week so your team leaders aren't retraining every Monday.

    Tired of chasing your current agency?

    One account manager who answers the phone, knows your site and sends names, not excuses. Weekly invoices match the timesheets you approved.

    Questions from warehouse managers

    How fast can you get warehouse staff on site?

    Most requests are filled by the next shift. Names are usually confirmed within a few hours of your call.

    Do your forklift drivers hold current licences?

    Yes. Every LF and LO operator's high risk work licence is sighted and verified before their first shift with you.

    How does invoicing work?

    We invoice weekly against electronic timesheets you approve, so you see every hour before you pay for it.

    Is there a minimum booking or lock-in contract?

    No lock-in. Book one worker for one shift or a full team for peak season.
