Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Twickenham.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
As part of Greater London, Twickenham draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. Across London & the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. 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 London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
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.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Twickenham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
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.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
