The recruitment sector is one of the first to feel the cold draught of an economic downturn, it’s also one of the first in line to benefit from recovery. Transport and logistics recruiter Driver Hire has around 100 branches across the UK and is now reporting real signs of business growth in many areas of the UK. This echoes some of the optimistic comments that have recently been voiced in the media by economic pundits.

 

Says John Warren, Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director, “Several of our franchisees have enjoyed record trading weeks recently and within our network there is now a real feeling of confidence that we are emerging from the tough trading conditions of the last year or so.  It’s good news for us and its also a great time to invest in a Driver Hire franchise. 

 

People close to our business can see this and several Driver Hire franchises have recently been snapped up by people with “inside knowledge”, either as employees or through word-of mouth. For instance the Driver Hire office in Cardiff was acquired in May by Darran Perkins. Having worked in the business for two years Darran saw a superb opportunity for himself and hasn’t been slow to exploit it. He’s recently had a record week in Cardiff and we’re all really delighted for him. I have every confidence that he will go from strength to strength”

 

Driver Hire currently has a number of territories available across the UK, including new starts and re-sales.
