Questions

Which roles do you recruit for?

In catering we recruit kitchen porters, prep cooks, servers, bar staff and event crew. In warehousing we recruit order pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in staff and returns handlers. If you need a related seasonal role, ask us and we will tell you honestly whether it fits our work.

When should we start planning our seasonal hiring?

Start as soon as you know roughly when your busy period falls. Planning early gives us more time to find and screen candidates, and it gives you a wider choice of people. We can also help when you are already close to the season.

What should we prepare before the first conversation?

A rough idea of your busy weeks, the roles you expect to need, and your shift times is enough to begin. House rules, safety instructions and dress codes are useful later for the first-day briefing we give each worker.

Can you help if we need extra staff mid-season?

Yes. Season support is part of how we work. Tell us when demand rises or someone leaves, and we start recruiting replacements or additional staff from our screened candidates. We also update your headcount plan so it stays accurate.

How do you screen candidates?

We interview every candidate before introducing them to you. We check references where available and confirm the documents the role requires. We also discuss availability for the full season, so you meet people who can commit to your shifts.

What happens when the season ends?

We review the season with you: which roles worked well, where the plan needed changes, and which workers you would like to see again. That review becomes the starting point for planning your next busy period.

I am looking for seasonal work. Can I apply?

Yes. We look for people who want seasonal work in catering kitchens, events, service or warehouses. Get in touch with your experience and availability, and we will talk through the roles that suit you.

Ready to start?

Tell us about your coming season, and we will help you plan the staff to match it.
