"A great business opportunity with an award-winning B2B management franchise"
A Driver Hire franchise provides you with a unique opportunity to run your own recruitment business, offering potential earnings of £100k and beyond.
About our business
With a 25year record of success, Driver Hire is the UK's leading supplier of drivers and logistics staff to the private and public sectors. Every day our 100-strong branch network provides workers, mainly on temporary assignments, to a wide variety of customers ranging from international hauliers and major retailers to builders merchants, parcel delivery companies and local authorities.
Our success is based upon a franchise formula that works, and works well. It combines strong brand recognition, a proven business system and comprehensive ongoing support with the ambition, dedication and self-motivation of local franchise owners.
We are full members of the British Franchise Association and have been finalists in the bfa’s prestigious “Franchisor of the Year” competition for the last seven years, winning the award outright in 2006. This followed on from our success in winning the 2004 “Franchisee of the Year” competition.
Current business performance
In the year to March 2010, despite a tough economic climate, over 50% of our franchisees achieved sales of over £500,000 with 14 going on to reach the coveted £1m milestone.
A market worth over £2bn
Driver Hire is part of the £20bn UK private recruitment and staffing industry. The market for temporary drivers alone is estimated to be worth over £2bn, boosted by ever-increasing customer demands for a flexible workforce solution and the massive growth of on-line retailing which requires more delivery drivers.
If you need any further convincing, 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 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.
Our Commitment to Service and Quality
As a specialist recruiter working in a competitive industry, our service standards have to be high. Driver Hire’s commitment to quality and service is widely acknowledged within the transport industry and is reinforced by our rigorous business processes. Not only that, our drivers are also recognised as best in class, sweeping the board in the Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s “Agency Driver of the Year” awards in each of the last three years. In 2008 one of our drivers went on to win the REC’s coveted “One in a Million” Temporary Worker of the Year Award.
