HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Newtown

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Newtown, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

West Wales

Permanent drivers for Newtown operators

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Permanent vacancies across West Wales come from port and terminal operators, food and drink manufacturers, agricultural supply chains and rural distribution. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

If Newtown 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 West Wales often come from drivers already working around the A487 coastal corridor and the mid-Wales agri-food belt.

Roles we recruit

Driving roles we fill in Newtown

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Why Newtown operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Licence and CPC checked

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Newtown

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

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.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
