Client:

A major e-commerce distribution center on Barking's Thames Road Industrial Estate.

Challenge:

The Barking warehouse faced a critical staffing crisis when 18 regular pickers and packers called in sick simultaneously during Black Friday week, their busiest trading period of the year. They needed immediate temporary workers familiar with warehouse operations who could handle high-volume picking with minimal training. Failure to maintain picking rates would result in missed delivery slots and significant revenue loss.

Our Solution:

Within 3 hours of receiving the emergency call at 5am, Team Staffing deployed 20 experienced warehouse operatives who lived within 30 minutes of the Barking site. All workers had previous e-commerce picking experience and valid forklift licenses. We managed onsite inductions while workers started immediately on simpler picking tasks, transitioning to complex multi-SKU orders within hours. Our 24/7 account manager remained onsite throughout the first day ensuring smooth integration.

Client:

Challenge:

The Barking food manufacturer secured a major supermarket contract requiring 40% production increase but struggled to recruit sufficient permanent staff in Barking's competitive manufacturing job market.

Traditional recruitment was taking 8+ weeks while production deadlines loomed.

Our Solution:

Team Staffing implemented a hybrid temp-to-perm strategy. Within one week, we supplied 15 food production operatives with valid Level 2 Food Hygiene certificates and previous manufacturing experience. We provided initial temporary contracts allowing the Barking client to assess performance while workers proved their capabilities. Our team managed all payroll, compliance documentation, and shift scheduling during the temporary period.
