HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Penarth

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Penarth transport managers.

Wales

Hiring drivers for good in Penarth

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Much of the permanent driving work across Wales starts at the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Wales include port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Penarth

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Retention first

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.

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.

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Penarth

Indicative permanent salaries in Penarth 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.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

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

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

The brief that works

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Penarth?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across Wales, placed directly onto your payroll.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
