New owner at Driver Hire’s Hereford & Worcester franchise

Driver Hire, the UK’s leading recruitment franchise, has added a new franchisee to its nationwide network – Andrew Partridge. Earlier this year he bought Driver Hire’s Hereford & Worcester territory and recently completed his first five month’s trading. Andrew has got away to a flying start, increasing monthly turnover by 200%.

 

Several things attracted Andrew to the business, not least the impressive support network provided by the parent company. “Driver Hire has a great business model which is really handy when I’m explaining to local business people how our recruitment and training services can help them.

 

“I come from a background where clients demand the highest of standards, and Driver Hire’s long-term commitment to quality was a big draw. The company’s infrastructure and systems help ensure we can provide reliable, appropriately qualified staff to our clients. We are in a better position than any to provide a reliable service to one of the UK’s core industries.”

 

Before buying the Driver Hire Hereford & Worcester business, Andrew had 30 years’ experience in publishing and marketing.
 

With a 35-year track record, Driver Hire is the current HSBC bfa Franchisor of the Year’. It’s one of the UK’s longest established and most highly respected franchisors with a network of 103 offices. Driver Hire franchisees provide temporary and permanent drivers and other logistics staff to businesses and organisations. They help when customers need extra staff to deal with holidays, illness or business expansion.
