Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Tunbridge Wells, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Tunbridge Wells draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. 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.
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.
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 for career drivers at every stage.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
