North West

Permanent HGV drivers for Radcliffe

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Radcliffe draws on the North West's deep distribution, port and fulfilment labour market. Across the North West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

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.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the North West include retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.

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

The depot and the commute

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

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.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Radcliffe

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

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

After the start

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

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.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

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
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
