Driver Hire

Driver Hire is the UK's leading supplier of professional drivers to business and industry. Every day our 110-strong branch network provides over 5,000 drivers to a wide range of prestigious clients from international hauliers and major supermarket groups to builders merchants and multi-drop delivery companies.

Established for over 20 years, our success is based upon a proven franchise formula which combines well-developed business systems, ongoing support and brand strength with the ambition and self-motivation of local owner-operators. This year our top 25 franchisees will generate sales of over £1million each and will enjoy significant net profits.

We are full members of the British Franchise Association and in 2004 our franchisee for Cambridge and Northampton was selected to become the BFA's Franchisee of the Year. Our commitment to quality and service is underpinned by our ISO 9001 accreditation and Investors in People award.

What we can offer you:

One thing is for sure with Driver Hire - you'll always have a wealth of experience and know-how to call upon! Our comprehensive support package will equip you with all the tools to succeed from Day 1, including:

• Pre-launch assistance with identifying suitable premises and recruiting your staff.

What Driver Hire expects of you:

Because Driver Hire operates in a service-driven environment we need franchisees who are totally committed to providing the best possible standard of customer service. By combining the Driver Hire business system with your personal commitment, drive and endeavour you will be able to build a very successful and profitable business.

We are therefore seeking talented, ambitious and self-motivated business people with the desire to build a business in partnership with ourselves and see it grow in the medium and long term. Previous experience in recruitment or transport is NOT required.
