HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Redhill

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

South East

Hiring drivers for good in Redhill

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

Redhill sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Our approach in Redhill

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Licence and CPC checked

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

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Your brief

The brief that works

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

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
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Do you help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

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.
