Business description
Driver Hire is the UK and Ireland’s leading supplier of logistics staff to the private and public sectors. Every day our 100+ branch network provides drivers and distribution workers to a wide variety of customers ranging from international hauliers and leading retailers to builders merchants, parcel delivery companies and local councils.

Established for 25 years, Driver Hire’s success is based upon a proven franchise formula which combines a market-leading brand name , rigorous business systems and comprehensive support with the ambition and self-motivation of local franchise owners.

A Driver Hire franchise provides you with a unique opportunity to run your own recruitment business within our established and highly successful franchise network. It’s a good indication of our success that this year two-thirds of our franchisees will achieve sales of over £500k with many hitting £1m plus and generating significant net profits as a result.

Our territories are carefully configured to offer a customer base with a good mix of national, regional and local firms from a wide cross-section of business sectors. This will include national and international logistics companies, local and regional hauliers, retailers, couriers, vehicle rental specialists, builders’ merchants and food distributors.

It should be noted that there is considerable potential to develop the business beyond our traditional area of driver supply into other complementary staff sectors including warehouse, distribution, ancillary industrial and professional.

Expansion potential
Driver Hire is market leader in this buoyant sector of the recruitment services industry. There is significant potential for growth, not just in our core business of temporary staff supply but also in the supply of other complementary products and services. In particular the huge increase in home shopping has stimulated demand for multi-drop delivery drivers.

Competition / Market
We operate in a competitive environment but the benefits of an extremely strong brand, a proven business process and central support combined with the hard work, motivation and commitment of the franchise owner provide a competitive edge that has seen Driver Hire consistently succeed where others have failed.

Support & training
Franchisor offers comprehensive training and ongoing support including a 2-week Foundation course and regular up-dates and specific programmes.

Financing available
Funding for Driver Hire franchises is available through all major banks, subject to status
