HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Bangor

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across North Wales, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

North Wales

Settled driving roles in Bangor

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Operators across North Wales are served by the A55 expressway, the A483, the A5 and the port of Holyhead. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

If Bangor is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Drivers living near Deeside Industrial Park and the A55 corridor have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Bangor goes to someone who can get there every day.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Bangor

Indicative permanent salaries in Bangor run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Pay in Wales moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How we find the driver

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Setting up the search

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Your questions

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
