A Driver Hire franchise provides you with a unique opportunity to run your own business within our established and highly successful franchise network.

Driver Hire is the UK’s leading supplier of professional drivers and ancillary staff to the business and public sectors.  Every day our 100-strong branch network provides over 4,000 drivers to a wide variety of customers ranging from international hauliers and major supermarket groups to builders merchants, multi-drop delivery companies and local councils.

Established for over 20 years, our success is based upon a proven franchise formula  which combines well-developed business systems, ongoing support and brand strength with the ambition and self-motivation of local owner-operators. 

It’s a good indication of our success that last year our top 30 franchisees each achieved sales of over £ ¾ million and generated substantial net profits.

The UK market for temporary drivers is estimated to be worth £2.6bn and is growing at 16% per annum.  This is largely as a result of the ever-increasing volume of goods being moved by road and customer demands for a flexible workforce solution.  Just stand by the side of any busy road and note the volume and diversity of commercial vehicles, ranging from articulated trucks through to courier vans.  Every single one is owned by a current or potential customer of Driver Hire and at some time or another most of them will need a driver from us.   Driver Hire is perfectly placed to benefit from this boom in demand.

We are full members of the British Franchise Association.  In May 2006 we won the bfa’s “Franchisor of the Year” title following our success in the 2004 “Franchisee of the Year” competition.   Our commitment to quality and service is underpinned by our ISO 9002 and Investors in People accreditation.

You don’t necessarily need previous experience in the transport or recruitment sectors to become a Driver Hire franchisee.  Far more important is the self-motivation and desire to build a successful and profitable operation coupled with good sales and “people” skills and all-round business acumen.   We provide you with full training in all aspects of our business and you’ll also enjoy lots of ongoing support both at national and local level.
