The Company

- Introduction

Extrastaff was founded in 2003, with the plan to be the UK’s number one supplier of temporary workers to the driving and industrial sector. Our forward-thinking approach has triggered a massive investment in IT development, whilst keeping at the heart of the business our high-quality ethic. We supply both local and national businesses from our continuously expanding High Street and onsite presence.

As specialists in the blue-collar sector our innovative approach to recruitment combines that large branch network with EFOS, our own ground breaking IT platform*, making our clients and workers lives simpler. {*hyperlink to Our IT Platform (EFOS)}

Our aim has been to create a national high quality, high street brand in blue collar recruitment. At conception there was no recognisable high-street blue-collar brand. There were many nationals dealing with a mix of industrial and secretarial work but predominantly, the logistics and industrial specialists – pure specialists – were only local agencies.

We now work from over 40 locations (both High Street branches and on clients’ own premises), have won many awards, and have one of the lowest internal staff turnover figures in the industry. Our sales in 2020 topped £60m dealing exclusively with the logistics and industrial sectors.

Our values of high-quality service, dedication to compliance, a genuine 24/7 on-call service, a strongly branded high-street presence and ground breaking IT drive us to be the best blue-collar sector recruitment specialists. Our success in upholding these values is down to our highly committed and centrally trained professional teams of Consultants and Managers, backed up by an exceptional Head Office team.
