HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Greenwich

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Greenwich transport managers.

London & the South East

Hiring drivers for good in Greenwich

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Much of the permanent driving work across London & the South East starts at London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

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.

Hiring across London & the South East is shaped by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Our approach in Greenwich

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Retention first

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.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Greenwich — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Greenwich

Indicative permanent salaries in Greenwich run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Pay in London & the South East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

The brief that works

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
