Perm & Temporary Staff Agency London | Extraman Recruitment
Extraman: London's Industrial Recruitment Specialists
Established in 1970 and in its current ownership since 1986. Extraman has supplied industrial labour throughout London in its present form for over 40 years, operating from its Earl's Court office since 1986. This central location provides consistent access to a motivated, work-ready international workforce, directly addressing the 2026 CIPD Labour Market Outlook report that one-third of employers still face hard-to-fill vacancies. Our temporary worker profile is genuinely international, with a significant majority of our workforce coming from Australasia, South Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, and the Commonwealth.
As an owner-managed company, all permanent staff are hands-on in business operations. Every client has direct access to the directors, who personally ensure high service levels. Extraman is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and the Association of Labour Providers (ALP), and holds a Gangmasters' Licence. These accreditations confirm Extraman operates within the legal and ethical frameworks governing UK temporary labour supply. The Earl's Court office is open from 9.00 Monday to Friday, with email monitoring from 6.00 am daily, including weekends, for urgent staffing requests.
Recruitment Experts for London's Core Sectors
Extraman recruits across five core sectors in London, matching verified candidates to client requirements quickly and reliably. Each sector below reflects genuine placement activity built on over four decades of operational experience in the London labour market, ensuring clients receive candidates who meet specific industry demands.
How Extraman Fills Your Vacancy
Extraman's placement process is direct and transparent, ensuring efficient and compliant temporary labour supply in London. This five-step process minimises administrative burden for clients and maximises candidate suitability, reflecting over 40 years of operational best practice.
-
Step 1: Submit your staffing requirement. Contact the Earl's Court office by phone or email, providing the role type, shift times, start date, and any specific requirements such as CSCS card or forklift licence.
-
Step 2: Extraman matches candidates from the active register. Consultants identify suitable candidates already on the Extraman register, confirming work entitlement, relevant experience, and any licence or card requirements at this stage.
-
Step 3: Candidates are briefed before the first shift. Each candidate receives a site-specific briefing covering reporting instructions, PPE requirements, and supervisor contact details, which reduces first-day errors and supervisor time spent on basic induction.
-
Step 4: Extraman confirms placement and remains contactable. The consultant confirms the booking and remains available from 6.00 am on the day of the shift, handling any last-minute changes or additional requirements directly.
-
Step 5: Review and repeat. After the placement, clients provide feedback directly to the consultant or a director, which Extraman uses to refine future candidate matching for the same client.
Recruitment experts for
Warehouse & Logistics operatives
Extraman's warehouse and logistics recruitment covers pickers, packers, sorters, goods-in operatives, and general warehouse staff across London. Candidates are matched to client shift patterns and volume requirements, with same-day or next-day supply available for urgent cover.
Food Production operatives
Extraman has extensive experience supplying food production operatives to manufacturers, packers, and processors across London. Whether you require staff for production lines, packing, quality control, or general food handling roles, we can provide reliable, compliant workers at short notice or on a planned basis. All food production operatives supplied by Extraman are fully vetted and hold the relevant food hygiene awareness required for their roles.
Forklift operators
Extraman sources forklift operators holding valid licences for counterbalance, reach, and other truck types. Licence verification is completed before any operator is put forward to a client, protecting clients from legal and safety risks associated with unlicensed operators. This rigorous vetting process ensures compliance with Health and Safety Executive requirements and reduces on-site incidents. Extraman also supplies food production operatives for roles including line workers, packers, and quality control assistants, with candidates briefed on hygiene standards before their first shift.
CSCS labourers & General labourers
Extraman recruits CSCS card-holding labourers and general labourers for construction sites, fit-out projects, and unskilled manual roles across London. CSCS card status is confirmed before placement, ensuring site compliance. General labourers without CSCS cards are placed in non-construction environments where card-holding is not a site requirement. Both categories are drawn from Extraman's established candidate network rather than cold advertising, ensuring a reliable pool of workers. Additionally, Extraman provides crew for events and exhibitions, including load-in and load-out teams, with consultants reachable from 6.00 am daily for flexible shift cover.
Events & Exhibitions crew
Extraman is a trusted supplier of events crew and exhibitions staff throughout London. We provide experienced, flexible workers for a wide range of events, including trade shows, corporate events, festivals, and sporting occasions. Our events crew are accustomed to working to tight deadlines and demanding schedules, covering roles such as build and breakdown crew, venue set-up, furniture and equipment handling, and general event support. We work closely with event organisers, production companies, and venue managers to ensure the right staff are in place at the right time.
