Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Folkestone, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Folkestone draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Permanent demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Folkestone — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Folkestone 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
