A specialist UK driver recruitment desk placing permanent HGV, LGV, taxi and private hire, delivery, bus, coach, tanker, ADR and forklift drivers. Licence-checked, CPC-current, reference-verified. One consultant per client.
We built the desk around what serious fleet operators, hauliers, logistics firms and transport managers were missing from generalist agencies: proper licence verification, CPC hours checked before shortlist, and a single accountable consultant on every driver brief.
Live DVLA check on record. Categories confirmed. Endorsements documented. Digital tacho card in date. Driver CPC hours logged. No surprises after the interview.
Artic trunk driver vs multi-drop distribution driver vs long-haul European work. Different jobs. We match the driver to the vehicle, load type, route pattern and shift structure.
Two independent references contacted, questions asked around punctuality, vehicle care, damage record and route adherence. Reference notes attached to the CV.
The consultant who takes the brief is the consultant who lands the placement and calls at day thirty and day ninety. Nobody hides behind the switchboard.
Full right-to-work documentation checked. ADR, Hiab, Moffett, tanker, tail-lift, hazmat tickets documented against the issuing body records. Nothing takes you by surprise on day one.
If a driver leaves inside the guarantee window for reasons that trace back to the search, we replace them at no extra fee. No clawback games, no argument, no fine print.
Licence category, vehicle type, shift pattern, route or depot location, package range in GBP and start date agreed in one call.
Roster search plus fresh outreach across our UK-wide driver network. DVLA and CPC checks run in parallel.
Three to five drivers, licence-verified, reference-checked, vehicle-matched, ranked with our notes.
Offer, paperwork, uniform and vehicle induction supported. Follow-up check-ins at day 30 and day 90.
Depth of focus across each licence category and vehicle type is what makes our shortlists arrive faster and better matched than a generalist agency can manage.
