Bradford logistics recruiter Driver Hire gets off to a flying start

Bradford-based specialist transport and logistics recruiter, Driver Hire, has got away to a flying start in the first quarter of its new financial year.

At the end of June, after 13 weeks’ trading, over a quarter of its offices are trading 50% ahead of same time last year. The network as a whole is 25% ahead.

According to Driver Hire UK’s managing director, Jeremy Neale, there’s plenty more to come: “Recently we successfully re-tendered for the business of one of our major national accounts, winning the business against tough opposition.

“Their busiest period is during the summer, so that’s helping to boost our figures. But this is a great all round performance by the whole of the network with customers across the country clearly turning to a quality supplier they know they can rely on to deliver.

Alongside its core recruitment business, Driver Hire is also a leading supplier of essential Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC) training. Since launching this service, it has trained over 73,000 drivers and delivered over 500,000 hours of training.

With the deadline for the first round of training now less than two months away, Driver Hire is experiencing a surge in demand. In fact June proved to be a record month with 5,191 drivers choosing to do their Driver CPC training with Driver Hire.
