What Sets Our Warehouse Division Apart

Our Light Industrial Staffing division has placed certified FLT operators across some of the UK's busiest logistics networks. We understand that warehouse operations cannot pause โ€” a single vacant truck driving seat can stall an entire dispatch cycle. That is precisely why we maintain a live-ready pool of vetted operatives who can step onto your site at short notice, fully briefed on health and safety compliance, including HSE Forklift Safety Standards โ†—.

Real Results from Real Placements

๐Ÿ“ฆ Case Study โ€” Distribution Centre, Midlands

A 300,000 sq ft Midlands distribution hub faced a critical shortage of 18 FLT operators ahead of a peak retail period. Team Temping Agency sourced, vetted and deployed all 18 operatives within 36 hours, preventing an estimated ยฃ120,000 in delayed dispatch penalties. Ten of those workers remained on site for a further three months on rolling contracts.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Outcome: 100% shift coverage ยท ยฃ120k cost saving ยท 10 extended contracts
๐Ÿญ Case Study โ€” E-Commerce Fulfilment, Greater London

A fast-growing e-commerce brand operating out of an East London fulfilment centre required a flexible team of 25 pick-and-pack operatives plus 4 reach truck drivers for a 10-week seasonal contract. Our team filled all 29 positions with a zero-absence record across the entire contract period, contributing to a 17% improvement in order fulfilment speed.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Outcome: 29/29 positions filled ยท Zero absence ยท +17% fulfilment velocity

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Do I need a specific forklift licence to apply for FLT jobs through Team Temping Agency?

Yes โ€” a recognised UK forklift licence from an accredited body such as RTITB โ†—, ITSSAR, or NPORS is required for all FLT-specific vacancies. However, our industrial team also places warehouse operatives, pick-and-pack workers, and dock loaders who do not require an FLT licence. If you are unsure which category suits your experience, simply contact our team and we will guide you.

2

How quickly can Team Temping Agency place me in a forklift or warehouse role?

Speed is our competitive advantage. Once your registration and compliance documentation are complete โ€” typically within the same working day โ€” our consultants begin matching your profile to live vacancies. Most FLT operators receive a confirmed placement within 2 to 24 hours. For candidates already registered on our system, same-day starts are routinely achievable. Upload your CV now to start the process.

3

Are pay rates at Team Temping Agency in line with the National Living Wage?

Absolutely. All placements made through Team Temping Agency meet or exceed the current National Living Wage โ†—. FLT operator rates typically range from ยฃ12.21 to ยฃ17.00 per hour depending on licence type, location and shift pattern. All workers are employed on PAYE contracts with holiday pay accrued from day one and weekly payments processed without deduction of hidden fees.

4

Can a temporary forklift role lead to a permanent position?

Yes, and it happens frequently. A significant proportion of our warehouse temp placements result in permanent offers from the client business โ€” typically after 8 to 12 weeks of satisfactory performance. This temp-to-perm pathway is actively supported by our team and mirrors industry practice across major distribution networks. Permanent roles carry the same competitive pay rates established during your temporary assignment. Browse all current vacancies to find roles with permanent potential.

5

Our warehouse and FLT division operates across the entire UK โ€” from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast. We have established relationships with logistics operators at over 3,880 active job sites nationally. Wherever a distribution centre, cold-store facility or fulfilment hub needs a certified FLT operator, we can deliver.
