Permanent driver recruitment for Knutsford employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Knutsford sits in the North West — the region's logistics engine, where Trafford Park, the M62 and the Port of Liverpool drive distribution across the North. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
If Knutsford 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 the North West is shaped by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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 categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Knutsford 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
