HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Cirencester

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Cirencester operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

South West

Cirencester driver recruitment, done properly

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

Logistics around Cirencester is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

If Cirencester 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.

Hiring across the South West is shaped by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

How we work with Cirencester fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

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.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Cirencester — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Cirencester

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

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.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
