Hiring a driver for good in Newhaven? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Sites across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Permanent demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Newhaven goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
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 Newhaven run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
