Hiring a driver for good in Felixstowe? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Driving employers across Suffolk & the Haven ports include port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Drivers living near the Port of Felixstowe, the A14 freight corridor and the Haven Gateway parks have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Felixstowe goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Felixstowe run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
