You were and are always are available even if your on a train going for a meeting you still answer your mobile and help us out. So thank you from WT Transport for all your support and help in 2018 and look forward to see what 2019 brings.” S. Maxey – Assistant Transport Manager – January 2019

“Since Luke has arrived at Driver Hire I’ve never been let down and always be provided with a driver regardless of notice. I never find myself chasing for responses as Luke gets back to me in a timely and efficient manner no matter what the query. The drivers provided are always well turned out, helpful and willing no matter the job required of them which is a testament to Luke and driver hire in their screening process when hiring these guys. We’re always kept in the loop if a driver changes or just to check in for any future requirements. I look forward to future dealings with Driver Hire as a company through Luke who is my contact for my driver hiring needs.” A Knock – Flooring Supplier – June 2018
“Woodway have worked with Luke for a few months now. When contacted first by Luke there was no real need for another driver agency to come on board, however his persistence and enthusiasm were attributes that led us to work with him. Luke has always been proactive in sourcing drivers for us and is reliable and honest. On the occasion there is an issue with a driver he makes being on site at Woodway his upmost priority and is always consistent and supportive with finding a resolution.
Thank you, Luke, for all of your help and hard work!” Woodway UK – June 2018
What our candidates say about working with us
“I have worked for Northampton Driver Hire on and off for several years as a temporary driver, On three occasions Driver Hire have managed to secure me a permanent position following redundancy. I re-joined Driver Hire in March 2018, From then on Luke Birmingham found me consistent work. He always took on board the shifts I was able to work, locations I would travel and he was always contactable in or out of work hours.
I was presented with an opportunity by Luke to work on a Temp – Perm position, for a well-established company near my home, the role afforded a fantastic salary, hours and pension plan. I was taken on in June by the Company on a permanent contract. This has changed my life, I now have more money and stability.
I have had a great experience working with Driver Hire, I have found they care about their drivers I was treated always with respect. I often popped in the office every Friday where Luke and I would have a chat and a catch up regarding work for the following week.
I would highly recommend Driver Hire to all drivers seeking temporary or permanent work. I wish you as a company all the very for the future! Thank you.” I. Smith – June 2018
