Agricultural

In the fresh produce world, things move fast. Seasonal peaks, fluctuating product quality, and the physical nature of the work can all put pressure on your operations. LPC provides flexible staffing solutions so your business can stay agile. Whatever comes your way.

Unpredictable volumes and quality

In fruit, vegetables, and potatoes, no two days are the same. Volumes and quality can shift from one delivery to the next. A sudden bumper harvest means you need more hands, while quieter weeks call for quick scaling down. These fluctuations make planning tricky and can lead to inefficiencies and higher costs. LPC gets it, and we’ll get you fast, reliable temporary staff exactly where and when you need them, keeping operations running smoothly.

Working in challenging conditions

The work in this sector is physically demanding. Lifting, packing, stacking… It can take a toll, leading to higher sick leave and turnover. That’s why we deliver motivated people who know what to expect from day one. By managing expectations upfront and selecting candidates for stamina and motivation, we help reduce dropouts and turnover. Whether you need packers, order pickers, or forklift drivers, we’ll find them.

Training in a tight labour market

Demand for experienced staff with specific skills keeps growing. Even as the talent pool shrinks. We stay ahead by training and upskilling our own people, fully tailored to your needs. Our workers can earn forklift, EPT, or VCA certificates before starting, so they’re ready to add value from day one.

Future-proofing your business

Automation – from sorting machines to packing lines and robots – is boosting efficiency across the sector. But you’ll still need flexible staff to handle peak moments. The right balance between automation and hands-on work keeps your business agile and future-ready.

And with sustainability becoming a bigger focus, consumer expectations are shifting too. People want products with a smaller environmental footprint, while climate change makes harvests more unpredictable. LPC helps you prepare by supplying the flexible workforce you need to stay efficient and sustainable.
