HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Holyhead

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

North Wales

Hiring drivers for good in Holyhead

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Driving employers across North Wales include manufacturing supply chains, port and ferry logistics, agri-food distribution and cross-border hauliers. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

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.

Across North Wales, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the A55 corridor estates at Flint, Mold and Colwyn Bay.

Our approach in Holyhead

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Licence and CPC checked

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

Matched to the shift

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

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.

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Holyhead

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

If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

The brief that works

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

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Do you cover towns near Holyhead?

Yes. We recruit permanent drivers across Wales. Tell us where the depot is and we will search within a realistic commute.

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.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.
