Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Bakewell.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Sites across DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
