North West

Permanent HGV drivers for Middleton

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

Middleton draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

If Middleton 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.

Permanent hires across the North West often come from drivers already working around Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles across every licence category.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Licence and CPC checked

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Middleton goes to someone who can get there every day.

Permanent and temporary

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

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Middleton

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

Pay in the North West moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

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

What we ask at the start

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
