Supporting a successful workforce transition to CEVA Logistics

The challenge

The objective was to ensure there was no disruption to recruitment, compliance or workforce availability as the business transitioned to new ownership.

Our solution

Having successfully delivered an MSP solution for Ingram Micro, Morson continued its partnership with CEVA Logistics, providing technicians and team leaders across two key UK operational sites.

Our dedicated onsite team of six works closely with CEVA’s HR function to deliver a fully managed contingent workforce solution. Today, we supply around 400 temporary workers each day through a PAYE model, ensuring full IR35 compliance while providing the flexibility required to meet changing operational demands.

Our recruitment strategy

Our recruitment approach is centred on local engagement, enabling us to attract quality candidates quickly and consistently.

Our strategy includes:

• Building relationships with local Jobcentres and community organisations.
• Delivering targeted social media campaigns to reach local talent.
• Streamlining attraction, screening and onboarding to support high-volume recruitment.
• Maintaining close collaboration with hiring managers to respond rapidly to changing workforce requirements.

This local-first approach has enabled us to consistently deliver 100% of recruitment requirements within agreed timescales.

Compliance and workforce management

Maintaining robust compliance throughout the transition has been a key priority.

Every temporary worker completes Basic DBS and financial checks through our Vencuro Comply platform, providing CEVA with a fully timestamped audit trail and complete visibility across the onboarding process. The system also enables rapid replacement of workers who do not meet compliance requirements, minimising disruption to operations.

In addition to recruitment and compliance, we provide ongoing absence management, including sickness management, helping CEVA maintain workforce resilience. This service proved particularly valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to play an important role in supporting day-to-day operations.
