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

Established for 39 years, Driver Hire has found 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 has covered the Merseyside area (Liverpool, Runcorn, Widnes, The Wirral) since 2002. The business is successfully operated by franchisees (husband and wife) in partnership with the franchisor. The franchisees wish to sell and retire. This provides an excellent opportunity for a new business owner to take on a profitable business with the potential for significant growth.

The business covers a very large territory, consisting of all the L postcodes, the WA6, & 8 postcodes, plus CH postcodes covering the Wirral, and primarily supplies temporary workers (e.g. drivers) to a wide range of clients and sectors e.g., construction, haulage, parcel delivery, retail, and waste management, to name a few. Effectively, any company operating a fleet of vehicles could benefit from the transport services and drivers supplied by Driver Hire.

Driver Hire is one of the UK’s top franchises, winning the prestigious BFA HSBC Franchisor of the Year award in 2019. This is the sixth time this management franchise has won a bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year award. Driver Hire is a finalist again this year, with the winner announced late in November.

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 (2021/22) was an impressive £1,230,183. The top Driver Hire franchised business (single office) generated over £3m in sales.
