HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Hammersmith

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Hammersmith.

London & the South East

A permanent driving desk for Hammersmith

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

As part of Greater London, Hammersmith draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. Across London & the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

If Hammersmith is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent demand across London & the South East follows last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Hammersmith goes to someone who can get there every day.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Hammersmith

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

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

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

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 depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

The detail

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Hammersmith?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across London & the South East, placed directly onto your payroll.

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
