Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Kensington, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Sites across the Heathrow airfreight belt, Park Royal, Enfield and the Thames Gateway run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
If Kensington 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.
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.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kensington run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:

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.
