HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Chichester

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Chichester transport managers.

South East

Hiring drivers for good in Chichester

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Driving employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

If Chichester 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 the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Chichester

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

The depot and the commute

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Chichester

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

Pay in the South East 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

Brief, search, shortlist

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

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

Your brief

The brief that works

For Chichester operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
