Permanent driver recruitment for Gosport employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Gosport sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
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 driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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 Gosport 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 Gosport run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
