As National Lorry Week (24–30 June) and UK Logistics Week (30 June – 2 July) get underway, Driver Hire is proud to recognise the people and businesses that keep the UK moving every day.
From drivers behind the wheel to the teams planning, coordinating and delivering operations, the logistics sector plays a vital role in keeping supply chains running and communities connected. It’s an industry built on dedication, skill and resilience – and one that continues to be the backbone of the UK economy.
With around 1.86 million people working in transport and storage and 89% of all freight moved by road, the importance of the logistics sector cannot be overstated. At its heart are the hundreds of thousands of professional HGV drivers whose expertise ensures goods reach their destinations safely and efficiently.
Driver Hire has been supporting this essential industry for over 40 years, providing reliable, high-quality drivers and logistics staff to businesses across the UK. Today, with a network of 120+ local offices, we combine national strength with local expertise – enabling us to understand the unique needs of businesses in every region we serve.
Whether it’s helping companies navigate seasonal peaks, cover staff holidays, or meet increasing demand, Driver Hire works as an extension of our clients’ teams — delivering dependable people who keep operations running smoothly.
At the same time, we remain committed to supporting our candidates, working with professional drivers and logistics staff who are proud to be part of a sector that keeps the country moving.
As we mark National Lorry Week and UK Logistics Week, we’d like to thank everyone across the industry for their hard work and continued commitment.
Together, we keep the UK moving.
