13’s a lucky number for Driver Hire

Driver Hire has announced that it’s become a finalist at the BFA HSBC Franchise Awards for the 13th time.

Driver Hire was thrilled to learn that it made the final list for the ‘Franchisor of the Year’ category in the BFA HSBC Franchise Awards. The business franchise, which specialises in recruitment for the logistics world, has made the cut 13 times in the last 14 years and has walked away with the crown an astonishing five times. The BFA HSBC ‘Franchisor of the Year’ award aims to highlight the franchises in the UK that truly go above and beyond to ensure their networks of franchisees have the best possible chance at success.

Graham Duckworth, Franchise Sales Director at Driver Hire, expressed the franchise’s delight that it has made the finals yet again and said that the honour is just as touching as it was the first time.

“This award recognises consistency and excellence in franchising. We’ve won an award in this category five times now and made it to the finals in thirteen out of the last fourteen years. I think this speaks volumes about the company’s values and continued commitment to the franchise industry, as well as the overall quality and value of our business model. We’re honoured to be a finalist and look forward to the awards night in June.”

In March, Driver Hire’s directors will present their case to the expert panel of judges, hoping to show them that the franchise is deserving of the title once again.

Andrew Brattesani, Head of Franchising at HSBC, commented on Driver Hire’s nomination:

“Driver Hire helps get thousands of people into employment every year, and its ethical franchise model and overall business approach has been rewarded by their nomination for Franchisor of the Year. It was nominated for the same award last year, showing its commitment to continued excellence within the industry. Along with the other nominated companies, I wish them the best of luck in their attempt to win the coveted Franchisor of the Year accolade.”
