LIVERPOOL BUSINESS NAMED NEW OFFICE OF THE YEAR The Liverpool operation for national driver supply agency, Driver Hire Nationwide, has been named its New Office of the Year. Chris Holt, who opened Driver Hire’s Liverpool franchise just over a year ago, has taken the business to a turnover of more than half a million, employing a team of three, serving major supermarkets, retailers, councils and independent companies across the region. A former project manager in the commercial vehicle industry, Chris was made redundant and decided to invest part of his redundancy payment in the franchise operation. “ We are delighted with this recognition from Driver Hire,” said Chris. “When I decided to invest in this business I knew that with the right team and professional service in place, there were major prospects. As ever, it is driver shortage that is the greatest challenge and we would urge anyone in Liverpool who might be looking for a career change or to supplement their income, to contact us as there are major opportunities for work. I am also firmly committed to training and development and we offer all our drivers a range of professional driving courses.” Chris is targeting 20% growth for the Liverpool office next year. He provides both customers and drivers a Ten-Point Quality Guarantee on all aspects of Driver Hire’s service. Driver Hire Nationwide is the UK’s leading national provider of agency drivers, operating through more than 100 franchise businesses across the country.
