Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist logistics recruiter, with over 100 offices nationwide.

Established in 1983, Driver Hire has found major success as a recruitment business due to its proven formula, which combines a market-leading brand name, robust business systems, and comprehensive training and support.


Driver Hire Hull has been a consistently performing business, exceeding £500k turnover for nine of the last 10 years. Peak turnover was £1.3 million in 2010–11. Although the business isn’t currently operating at this level, there are genuine reasons for the recent dip in performance, including, for example, the business operating with minimal staff for a period of time and personal reasons relating to the franchisee (hence the reason for the sale).

The large territory covers all the HU postcodes, including large industrial areas and a wide range of sectors requiring drivers and other labour, especially around the port city of Hull. Therefore, the territory is well suited to operating a driver-hire business.

Driver Hire is one of the UK’s top franchises, winning the HSBC Elite Franchise 'Franchisor of the Year' in 2023 and collecting the Silver Winner award for the 'bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year' in 2022 (Gold Winner in 2019). This is the eighth time this management franchise has won a BFA HSBC Franchisor of the Year award.

The driver hire network contains very successful franchisees who consistently deliver great results. The average turnover figure for a Driver Hire franchised office (single unit) in the most recent year (2023/24) was an impressive £1,231,412. The top Driver Hire franchised businesses (single offices) generated over £3 million in sales.
