Warehouse Operative 

So it&rsquo;s the final blog in our stress free staffing campaign &ndash; not sure who&rsquo;s more devastated, you or us? Over the past year, we&rsquo;ve tackled the industry headaches that keep hiring managers up at night. From candidate quality to compliance conundrums, attrition to pricing and everything in between, we&rsquo;ve been there, done that, and (politely) told those stress points where to go.
This month? It&rsquo;s a big one. Possibly the big one: supplier relationships and communication. Because if you&rsquo;re constantly chasing info, repeating yourself, or wondering if your recruitment partner even remembers your site layout &ndash; it might be time for a rethink.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">When supplier relationships don&rsquo;t work, you feel it</h3>
Updates get missed, issues drag on, and the small stuff snowballs. If your agency&rsquo;s just sending <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/the-power-of-collaboration-attracting-and-retaining-top-talent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bodies to fill shifts</a> without understanding the bigger picture, that&rsquo;s not a partnership &ndash; it&rsquo;s box-ticking. And if you&rsquo;re constantly repeating instructions or picking up the slack, it quickly starts to feel more like hassle than help.
But when the relationship clicks, everything changes. Communication is seamless and things run more smoothly because your supplier actually gets it. They understand your peaks, your expectations, and how things operate day to day &ndash; and they deliver accordingly.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Why communication counts</h3>
When communication&rsquo;s missing, it shows. You&rsquo;re often left in the dark, double-checking what&rsquo;s been actioned, and stepping in to keep things on track. It slows everything down and leaves you doing more hand-holding than you signed up for. And if it feels this disjointed on your side, chances are it&rsquo;s no better for the workers on the ground &ndash; confused candidates, unclear expectations, and radio silence after interviews don&rsquo;t exactly point to a well-oiled machine.
When it works, it makes all the difference. It&rsquo;s not just about routine reports &ndash; it&rsquo;s about staying in sync, spotting red flags early, and stepping in before problems spiral, whether it&rsquo;s peak season or just a regular Tuesday.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Our values make the difference</h3>
Solid client-supplier relationships aren&rsquo;t built on guesswork. They need clear standards and consistent follow-through. That&rsquo;s where our core values come in. They&rsquo;re not just words on a website; they&rsquo;re the backbone of how we deliver stress free staffing, shaping how we work, how we talk to clients, and how we handle every twist and turn that comes with hiring.
Being consultative means asking the right questions and properly understanding how your operation works &ndash; not just how many heads you need. We tailor our approach to fit each client&rsquo;s unique requirements. We stay accountable by updating you before you have to ask and fixing any issues fast. If we don&rsquo;t have an answer straight away, we&rsquo;ll find it and get back to you &ndash; no chasing, no excuses. We keep it real &ndash; no jargon, no vague responses &ndash; just honest conversations with people who want to get it right. Our approachability and responsiveness means we build genuine relationships that encourage open and honest dialogue. And we stay ethical by putting transparency first, doing the right thing even when no one&rsquo;s watching. From compliance to candidate care, we protect your business, without the drama.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Time for an agency partner review?</h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">If your partner&rsquo;s making life harder than it needs to be, it might be time for a review. Ask yourself:</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Am I getting timely and <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/the-power-of-transparent-pricing-in-recruitment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transparent</a> updates?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Does my provider really understand <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/building-your-dream-team-why-quality-candidates-are-the-game-changer-your-business-needs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my business</a>?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Are problems resolved quickly and openly?</li>
</ul>
If the answer to any of those is no, maybe it&rsquo;s time to try a different approach. Ready for stress free staffing? <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Let&rsquo;s talk.</a>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Stress free staffing, the final frontier: supplier relationships and communication

Welcome to the time of year when the football seasons wrap up, bank holidays roll in, and suddenly the idea of showing up on time becomes&hellip;optional?
If you&rsquo;re in the industrial sector, you&rsquo;ve probably seen the pattern: warmer weather, longer days, and a spike in no-shows and late arrivals. Add a couple of last-minute &ldquo;sick days&rdquo; into the mix, and your morning shift plan can start to look more like wishful thinking than concrete reality.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">It starts with prevention, not panic</h3>
We&rsquo;ve seen enough staffing schedules unravel to know this much: the best way to handle no-shows is to stop them before they happen. That starts with proper screening and onboarding, making sure every candidate is suited to the job role, shift pattern, and working environment before they ever step foot on site. Pre-screening calls, reference checks, red flag spotting &ndash; it&rsquo;s all part of how we lay solid foundations. And with a national recruitment centre and regional teams on hand, we can mobilise workers within 48 hours, to make sure our clients are fully staffed and moving.
From there, we focus on staying one step ahead. Weekly updates. Shift reconfirmations. Clear absence procedures. We stay in touch, not just when something goes wrong, but on a regular basis. Because when you check in often, you spot problems before they snowball. And if someone is unavailable last minute? A two-hour call-in window gives us time to step in. When they&rsquo;re back? We have a quick catch-up. No clipboard grilling, just a simple check to make sure they&rsquo;re okay &ndash; because sometimes the small conversations are the most telling.
And when workers move on, we don&rsquo;t just wave them off; we ask questions. Feedback on the onboarding process, work schedules, and the day-to-day reality of the job helps us spot what&rsquo;s working (and what&rsquo;s not). It&rsquo;s how we refine our approach, keep engagement high, and boost retention over time.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">When life throws a curveball</h3>
No matter how much you prepare, sometimes people get sick. Cars break down. Alarms don&rsquo;t go off. We get it &ndash; and we plan for it.
If someone drops out, we&rsquo;re already on it. The search functionality in our candidate management system helps us identify trained, available workers in seconds &ndash; and once we&rsquo;ve got the list, our team moves fast, making direct calls and running targeted searches to get someone on-site without missing a beat.
And we don&rsquo;t just plug holes &ndash; we look for patterns, tightening things up before small issues become big problems. Reacting quickly is important. Learning from it? Even better.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">A safety net you can count on</h3>
We&rsquo;re all about finding candidates who show up, stay on track, and keep everything running without a hitch. But we also know things can go off course. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve always got a backup plan ready, so when the unexpected happens, you&rsquo;re never left scrambling to fill the gap.
Sunshine, sick days, sudden no-shows &ndash; we can&rsquo;t control when they hit, but we can make sure you&rsquo;re never caught out. So, if your current setup isn&rsquo;t cutting it, <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">let&rsquo;s talk. </a>We&rsquo;re here to <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/lets-get-started/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help you </a>smooth things out.

Sun’s out, staff’s out? Not on our watch

IT&rsquo;S HAPPENING. Spring has officially sprung, the clocks have gone forward, and if you&rsquo;ve already powered through your emergency stash of Mini Eggs &ndash; we&rsquo;re not judging. It&rsquo;s the perfect time to shake off the winter chill and gear up for the months ahead. And with Q2 already well underway, now&rsquo;s the time to shift focus and plan for what&rsquo;s next.
So, whether you're counting down to the next bank holiday weekend, or just counting pallets, we&rsquo;ve got the latest from the employment, FMCG, manufacturing, warehousing, and waste and recycling sectors to keep you in the loop. Grab a brew, take five, and let&rsquo;s dive in.

With planning set to be submitted soon and construction kicking off next year, this is set to be a game-changer for the region - and a huge lift for the UK job market. <a href="https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/universal-theme-park-jobs/">Read more here.</a>
<h3>FMCG</h3>
Following President Trump&rsquo;s announcement of a 10% tariff on UK imports to the US, industries including grocery, agriculture, and alcohol are bracing for the impact. Supermarkets might not face direct challenges, but rising global costs could create ripple effects. Even M&amp;S&rsquo;s beloved Percy Pigs aren&rsquo;t safe. After the iconic product landed in the US on 30 March, their American shelf life could be short-lived as tariffs threaten to push up prices and send them packing. With global growth forecasts downgraded, businesses are being urged to stay proactive in managing the uncertainties caused by the tariffs. <a href="https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2025/04/09/trumps-tariffs-grocery-sector/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read about the impacts here.</a>
Unless you&rsquo;ve been living under a rock (or avoiding social media), you&rsquo;ve probably caught wind of the Dubai chocolate craze. Created by British-Egyptian Sarah Hamouda in 2021, the pistachio and tahini-filled bar exploded in popularity at the end of last year, after a single TikTok video racked up over a whopping&nbsp;120 million views. Now, it&rsquo;s available everywhere from Lidl to Waitrose, with luxury brands like Lindt even jumping on the bandwagon. But viral success has a downside - turns out the world really did go nuts for it. A poor US harvest, limited shell-free supply, and a buying spree from chocolatiers have pushed pistachio prices up, with Iran increasing exports to the UAE by 40% to meet demand. Some shops are even rationing the bar - all thanks to the treat that broke the internet&hellip;and cracked the supply chain too! <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/dubai-chocolate-bar-tiktok-pistachio-shortage-b2736654.html">Read more about it here.</a>
<h3>Warehousing and logistics</h3>
M&amp;S is making moves in its supply chain with a massive new 390,000 sq. ft. distribution centre in Avonmouth, set to open in 2026. Nestled between its existing Bristol and Portbury sites, the depot will help keep shelves stocked across the Midlands, South West, and South Wales. It&rsquo;s also M&amp;S&rsquo;s greenest food depot yet, complete with solar panels and EV infrastructure. The investment is all part of a bigger plan to streamline logistics, cut costs, and future-proof operations. <a href="https://corporate.marksandspencer.com/media/press-releases/food-supply-chain-modernisation-programme-new-bristol-depot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more here.</a>
<h3>Manufacturing</h3>
Nova Tissue is on a roll after a &pound;1m machinery upgrade that&rsquo;s already boosted production by 25% and improved efficiency across the board. The Oldham-based firm, which makes 68 million toilet and kitchen rolls a year for retailers, wholesalers, and even local foodbanks, has brought in a new OM1 Bundler and Rewinder Line to streamline output. The kit&rsquo;s not only speeding things up - it&rsquo;s also improving product quality and reducing packaging use. With capacity up, they&rsquo;ve secured more business from a major UK supermarket, hired five new staff, and are targeting a &pound;2m jump in turnover this year.

In an extraordinary move, the UK government has stepped in to take control of British Steel&rsquo;s Scunthorpe site after emergency legislation was rushed through Parliament. The move prevents owners Jingye from shutting down its blast furnaces - something that would have ended primary steelmaking in the UK. With 2,700 jobs on the line, nationalisation now looks likely, as ministers say the intervention is about protecting critical infrastructure and securing the UK&rsquo;s ability to produce its own steel - though critics have questioned why similar action wasn&rsquo;t taken when Port Talbot Steelworks closed last year, or as Grangemouth Oil refinery heads for shutdown this summer. <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg17g39x41o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click to read more.</a>
<h3>Waste and recycling</h3>
Last month, the first phase of the government&rsquo;s 'simpler recycling' reforms came into effect for businesses in England. From now on, workplaces with 10 or more employees must separate food waste, non-recyclables, and dry recyclables such as plastics, metal, glass, paper, and card. While the aim is to streamline recycling and improve rates across the UK, some waste specialists are concerned that businesses haven&rsquo;t been given enough information about the new rules. With further reforms coming in 2026 and 2027, including requirements for household waste and micro-firms, the government is pushing for a greener, more circular economy. But as the rules take effect, there&rsquo;s still some confusion about how businesses should comply and what penalties they might face for getting it wrong. <a href="https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/simpler-recycling-reforms-come-into-force-for-workplaces-31-03-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more here.</a>
DS Smith, the fibre-based packaging solutions provider, has partnered with Prim&eacute;ale, a subsidiary of the French agricultural and food processing group Agrial, to develop plastic-free, fully recyclable packaging for their &lsquo;Vegetable Kit&rsquo; range. The new punnets, made from corrugated cardboard with a transparent cellulose hydrate lid, are designed to protect fresh produce while offering excellent visibility on supermarket shelves. The packaging is fully recyclable and includes a moisture barrier for direct contact with fresh food. This innovation supports both companies' commitment to sustainable packaging solutions and responds to growing consumer demand for eco-friendly, plastic-free options in food packaging. <a href="https://www.themanufacturer.com/articles/plastic-free-packaging-for-vegetable-kit-range/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more about this here.</a>
