ABOUT
US
A Driver Hire franchise provides you
with a unique opportunity to run your own recruitment business
within our established and highly successful franchise
network.
Driver Hire is the UK and Ireland’s leading supplier of
drivers and logistics staff to the private and public
sectors. Every day our 100-strong branch network provides
drivers and distribution workers to a wide variety of customers
ranging from international hauliers and major supermarket groups to
builders merchants, multi-drop delivery companies and local
authorities.
Now established for 25 years, our success is based upon a proven
franchise formula which combines a strong brand name ,
well-developed business systems and ongoing support with the
ambition and self-motivation of local owner-operators.
It’s a good indication of our success that last
year our top 60 franchisees each achieved sales of over
£1/2 million. Current network sales revenue is
growing at 13% year-on-year and in 2007/08 over one third of our
network enjoyed record trading weeks.
The UK market for temporary drivers is estimated to be worth
£2.6bn and is growing strongly. This is largely as a
result of the ever-increasing volume of goods being moved by road,
the massive growth in home deliveries (on-line transactions now
account for 15% of all retail spending) and customer demands for a
flexible workforce solution. Just stand by the side of any
busy road and note the volume and diversity of commercial vehicles,
ranging from articulated trucks through to courier vans.
Every single one is owned or operated by a current or potential
customer of Driver Hire and at some time or another most of them
will need a driver from us. Driver Hire is perfectly
placed to benefit from this boom in demand.
We are full members of the British Franchise
Association and in 2006 and 2007 we were finalists in the
bfa’s prestigious “Franchisor of the Year”
competition, winning the award outright in 2006. This
followed on from our success in winning the 2004 “Franchisee
of the Year” competition. Not only that, our
drivers are also recognized as best in class, sweeping the board in
the REC “Agency Driver of the Year” awards in each of
the last three years. Our commitment to quality and service
is underpinned by our ISO 9002 and Investors in People
accreditation.
You don’t necessarily need previous experience in the
transport or recruitment sectors to become a Driver Hire
franchisee. Far more important is the self-motivation and
desire to build a successful and profitable operation coupled with
good sales and “people” skills and all-round business
acumen. We provide you with full training in all
aspects of our business and you’ll also enjoy lots of ongoing
support both at national and local level.
If you like the idea of going into business for
yourself, but not by yourself, then talk to Driver Hire without
delay!
