North West

Permanent HGV drivers for Horwich

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Much of the permanent driving work across the North West starts at Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

If Horwich 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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

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.

Permanent and temporary

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

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Horwich

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

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.

The offer

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

Your brief

What we ask at the start

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

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
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet

Driver FAQs

Worth knowing

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

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 night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
