Staff Solutions & Giant Finance+ Case Study

The business

Staff Solutions is a specialist driving and logistics agency based in Hertfordshire. Founded and led by Claire Dawson, the business has been supplying professional drivers to some of the UK’s best-known logistics companies for nearly two decades.

Having partnered with Giant Finance+ since 2008, Staff Solutions is a long-term example of what true cooperation between a funding provider and an agency can achieve.

The challenge

In 2023, the business faced a difficult period as demand dipped sharply. Weekly invoice levels dropped, which created an intense pressure on cash flow.

At one point, Claire even considered closing the business. Instead, Giant Finance+ worked closely with her to find a practical way forward, maintaining funding and allowing a controlled overpaid position while recovery plans were implemented.

That flexibility, combined with regular support from the Giant team, meant payroll could continue uninterrupted, clients were kept informed, and confidence gradually returned.

The solution

Giant Finance+ provides recruitment-specific invoice finance with 100% back-office support, including:

• Funding against approved invoices so cash flow is immediate and predictable
• Credit control and debtor management, handled by a dedicated Giant team
• Bad debt protection through comprehensive credit insurance
• Full back-office administration, billing, payroll, and reporting all managed in-house

This all-in-one solution allowed Claire to focus entirely on rebuilding relationships and growing her client base, knowing her cash flow and compliance were fully managed.

The results

One year on, the turnaround has been extraordinary:

• Weekly invoice values have risen to above £50,000
• The agency has returned to strong profitability
• Payroll and collections are running seamlessly through Giant’s systems

With Giant Finance+ taking care of funding and administration, Staff Solutions can now operate efficiently and plan ahead with confidence.

A true partnership

Seventeen years after first partnering with Giant, Staff Solutions continues to thrive,  proof that long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, and resilience deliver results.
