Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Ashford.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Logistics operations around Ashford serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
