Permanent driver recruitment for Grantham 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.
Grantham sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Hiring across the East Midlands is shaped by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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 Grantham 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 Grantham 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.
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 help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
For Grantham operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
