Driver Hire Franchise

Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist logistics recruiter, supplying customers in a wide range of sectors nationwide.

Established in 1983, the award-winning Driver Hire network consists of over 100 offices across the UK, all focused on supplying thousands of satisfied customers each year.

What Does Driver Hire do?

Since 1983, our 100+ franchisees have been supplying businesses and firms across the country with temporary drivers, as well as non-driving staff, for all sorts of needs; we are now the UK’s largest specialist logistics recruiter, and proud to be a franchised business.

Our near 40 years of experience have made us one of the top companies for finding different businesses the staff they need for permanent positions (we work on a no-success, no fee basis), long-term contracts or simply drivers for one-off jobs.

We don’t focus purely on drivers; we regularly help find people for non-driving roles that come with haulage links, such as warehouse staff and managers.

With all of this comes our robust central support system that provides both new and established franchisees with the training and support they need to succeed. This starts with identifying people who are suitable for running a Driver Hire recruitment business, to providing a comprehensive training programme, before then providing a level of operational support which is unrivalled in the industry.

Who is Driver Hire looking for?

Driver Hire franchisees come from all walks of life but there are personal traits common to many:

• Personable
• Driven
• Can-do attitude
• Confident relationship builder

Relevant industry experience is not necessary as we provide you with all the training you will need, however we do find that the following backgrounds can be beneficial:
