Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Tower Hamlets transport managers.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Sites across Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Permanent demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tower Hamlets 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
