HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Wilmslow

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Wilmslow, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

North West

Permanent drivers for Wilmslow operators

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Sites across the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

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 North West is shaped by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Why Wilmslow operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Matched to the shift

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Wilmslow goes to someone who can get there every day.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
