Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Royal Tunbridge Wells transport managers.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Royal Tunbridge Wells sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
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.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Royal Tunbridge Wells goes to someone who can get there every day.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Royal Tunbridge Wells 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
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.
