Driver Hire

The UK and Ireland’s leading supplier of Transport and Logistics Staff

Driver Hire provides you with a unique opportunity to run your own recruitment business within our established, highly successful franchise network.

Why Driver Hire?

Driver Hire: Driver and Truck Driver Hire is the UK and Ireland's leading supplier of transport and logistics staff to the private and public sectors. Our 100-branch network provides a wide range of staff, including drivers and distribution workers to customers ranging from international hauliers and major supermarket groups to builders merchants, parcel delivery companies and local authorities.

With 25 years of experience, our success is based upon a proven franchise formula, combining a strong brand name, well-developed business systems and ongoing support with the ambition and self-motivation of local franchisees.

Last year, our top 60 franchisees each achieved sales of over £1/2 million. Current network sales revenue is growing at 13% year-on-year and in 2007/08 over one third of our network enjoyed record trading weeks.

The Market

Driver Hire: Driver and Truck The UK market for temporary drivers is estimated to be worth £2.6bn and continues to grow year by year. An increasing volume of goods is being moved by road, on-line shopping now accounts for 15% of retail sales leading to a massive demand for home deliveries and customer demands for a flexible workforce solution continue unabated. Driver Hire is perfectly placed to benefit from this boom in demand.

We are full members of the British Franchise Association and in 2006 and 2007 we were finalists in the bfa’s prestigious “Franchisor of the Year” competition, winning the award outright in 2006. This followed our success in winning the 2004 “Franchisee of the Year” competition.
