Driver Hire's Famous Five

Driver Hire, the transport & logistics recruitment franchise, has just completed a bumper month for renewals -- with five franchisees each signing new five-year contracts. Amongst them are Andy Young (Glasgow), who has now completed 30 years as a Driver Hire franchisee, and John Bantick (Dartford), who’s completed 25 years.

“In total, the five franchisees have now clocked up 80-years with Driver Hire”
Graham Duckworth, Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director.

“I think this speaks volumes about the strength and quality of our business model, the support our franchisees receive and, of course, the profitability of their respective businesses. Average turnover for a Driver Hire franchise is now £1.2m -- well ahead of the franchise industry average. Our franchisees know that they’ve made a great investment.”

The UK’s largest specialist supplier with a nationwide network of 80-plus franchised offices, Driver Hire has been franchising for 37 years. It provides temporary and permanent drivers and other logistics staff to local and national organisations in both the public and private sector. If they’re short of staff – perhaps because of illness, holidays, or seasonal demand – a Driver Hire franchisee will supply them with a suitable replacement.

Lee Dean is franchisee at Driver Hire Warrington. He’s just completed a decade with Driver Hire. So why did he decide to sign-up for a further five years? “I’m proud to be a Driver Hire franchisee,” says Lee. 

“They’ve been brilliant franchise partners. Along the way, I’ve made some great long-term friendships with other Driver Hire franchisees. I’ve also developed some great business relationships which have helped my business to thrive. Apparently, my franchise is one of the network’s most consistent performers. As a result, I continue to make a good living from it whilst having the satisfaction of finding regular work for local people.”
