Driver Hire, which already has two offices in Birmingham, is adding a new one, based in Oldbury – Driver Hire Birmingham West.
The man behind the move is 25-year old entrepreneur Pritesh Panchal. Pritesh, whose background is in IT, previously ran his own successful training business. Most recently he was a software engineer for a mini-golf operator with five venues across the UK and a further ten globally.
“I’ve always been interested in business and wanted to be my own boss again,” says Pritesh. “My partner, Chandani, spotted the opportunity to buy a brand-new Driver Hire territory in Birmingham. I talked to the franchisee at another Driver Hire office and quickly saw that this is a business opportunity with plenty of potential. I love networking and am really looking forward to talking to drivers and clients, getting my new business venture away to a flying start.”
Joining Pritesh at Birmingham West are Roma Patel, Sanjay Ghai and Chandani Patel.
Driver Hire Birmingham West covers postcodes B6, B15-21, B23, B32, B42-44, B62-71.
A franchise business, Driver Hire, is the UK’s largest specialist supplier of temporary and permanent drivers and other logistics staff to the road transport industry. It works with local and national organisations in both the public and private sector. If a client is short of staff – perhaps because of illness, holidays, or seasonal demand – Driver Hire supplies them with a suitable replacement.
