Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the South East, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
If Margate 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.
Depots across the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Margate — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Margate run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Margate operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
