Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around East Grinstead.
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.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Depots across the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
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.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in East Grinstead goes to someone who can get there every day.
Indicative permanent salaries in East Grinstead run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
