Bradford transport firm celebrates consistent trading success up £8m

Driver Hire, a Bradford-based transport and logistics recruitment company, is celebrating another record-breaking year.

Turnover for the past 12 months to March 2018 increased by £8m, up to £108.5m - an eight per cent increase on 2016/17.

This marks Driver Hire’s fifth record year in succession and its seventh year of consecutive year-on-year growth. On average, Driver Hire covers 4,200 shifts per week through its network of 100 offices nationwide, from Inverness to Cornwall.

Commenting on the results, a delighted Chris Chidley, Driver Hire’s chief executive, said: “Driver Hire continues to deliver a business critical, 24/7, 365 days a year service. We work with nationally known, blue chip clients, helping to ensure they meet their delivery deadlines.

“As this strong set of figures shows, not only do we retain customers; we’re doing more business with them. Driver Hire’s success is built on quality, so I think it’s important to recognise that we are combining record trading with high standards of service to customers and candidates alike.”

Driver Hire also has five offices in Australia, those being Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Its international arm continues to go from strength to strength and also reported a record year with turnover ending the year just short of £12m.

Now into its 34th year of trading, Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist supplier of staff to the road transport and logistics industry.

It provides temporary and permanent drivers and other logistics staff to local and national organisations in both the public and private sectors. If they’re short of staff, Driver Hire will supply them with a replacement.
