10 Things You Should Know...
... about Driver Hire
1 Our business
In simple terms, we are a recruitment agency specialising in the supply of commercial drivers and logistics staff, temporary and permanent, to both the private and public sectors.
2 Our market
The market for temporary drivers alone is estimated to be worth over £2bn. And as if that were not enough we also supply many other categories of staff ranging from experienced managers and technical staff to fork-lift truck operators and warehouse workers.
3 Our customers
We have over 12,000 customers including international logistics operators, parcel delivery companies, food and drink suppliers and local councils.
4 Market leaders
We may not be a high street consumer brand but there’s no doubt that over the last 25 years, Driver Hire has built a very high profile in the transport sector. We are now considered to be clear market leaders by our customers and by our candidates.
5 Proven franchise formula
As a Driver Hire franchisee, you’ll immediately benefit from our structured quality and service-driven business processes.
6 Comprehensive training and support
Our two-week initial training course will get you off to a flying start. We then provide a comprehensive and ongoing support package which includes central and local marketing, national sales, invoicing and administration, technical and legal advice, telemarketing, supplementary training and your own Area Development Manager.
7 Technology
Developed by Driver Hire and only available to our franchisees, dhOps is our industry-leading software package. It streamlines your administration process, providing maximum business efficiency and productivity.
8 Full BFA Membership
As full members of the British Franchise Association (bfa) we are a fully accredited franchisor. In four of the last five years, Driver Hire has been a Finalist in the bfa’s “Franchisor of the Year” competition, winning the award outright in 2006.
9 A low fixed cost management franchise
With Driver Hire you won’t need to invest in high-rental retail premises in prime locations, expensive capital equipment or stock. Nor do we require previous experience in transport or recruitment. What you will need is a sound commercial background, good communication skills and the ability and desire to develop your business by focussed sales activity in your own territory.
10 Profit and investment potential
We look for franchisees with earning expectations in excess of £100,000. This won’t come immediately but with hard work, self-motivation, commitment and an absolute focus on sales development, there is no reason why this cannot be achieved. A successful Driver Hire franchise will also prove to be an excellent capital investment should you wish to sell at some time in the future.
