Driver Hire, the UK’s largest transport & logistics specialist recruitment company is, once again, a key supporter of National Lorry Week (November 4-8th). Organised by the Road Haulage Association (RHA), this annual event is now into its tenth year.
“National Lorry Week shines a spotlight on the vital role haulage plays in delivering economic growth in the UK,” says Richard Owen-Hughes, Driver Hire’s Group Marketing Director.
“It’s a celebration of the industry and highlights the wealth of career opportunities it offers. It’s also a great way of saying “Thank you” to all the people in the industry who work so hard, day and night, all year round. As we’re the UK’s largest specialist supplier of staff to the transport and logistics industry we’re delighted to be core sponsors of the event.”
Following a launch at the headquarters of RHA member, Howard Tenens Logistics in Stroud, the themes for this year’s event are skills, career opportunities and inspiring talent.
“In the UK 89% of goods travel by road. the RHA’s National Lorry Week is one way of ensuring people don’t lose sight of that fact,” Richard continues. “It’s a fast-moving dynamic sector that never stands still. What’s more, it’s full of opportunities for talented people.”
