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

Hiring drivers for good in Havering

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Havering sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.

Our approach in Havering

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.

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Havering

Your brief

The brief that works

For Havering operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
