When the line stops
If you've ever lost a shift to a no-show, this is the line you call.
Sickness on a Monday morning
Three people called in. Order leaves at 4pm. You need bodies on the line by 10am. Tony's pool of regulars knows your site.
A surge order with two days' notice
The customer wants twelve pallets out by Friday. Your line was scoped for six. Tony spins up a project crew before the order ships.
An FLT driver walked off site
One driver gone, a yard half-stocked, a delivery booked at 14:30. Tony has a counterbalance-licensed driver in LS12 who can be there in 40 minutes.
Christmas peak, end-of-quarter peak
The peaks are predictable. Tony's people know the supervisors. The agency has been doing this since 1988.
Why owner-led matters
When you call 0113 226 1111, you speak to Tony.
Tony Pugal — the founder — answers the phone himself, weekdays 7am to 6pm. That changes the economics of the relationship in three ways.
- Tony remembers your site. Layout, shift pattern, supervisor names, which of his regulars fit.
- Tony quotes honestly. Worker pay and agency margin are visible on the first call.
- Tony places people, not CVs. If a worker won't fit your site, Tony tells you before they're sent.
