Bradford Driver Hire Closes 2017 With Record-Breaking Profits

Bradford-based Driver Hire franchisee completes record-breaking year with a £13m turnover.

The UK’s leading transport and logistics specialist recruitment company, Driver Hire reveals an all-time record-breaking Christmas and a highly profitable kick-start to 2018. Bradford-based Driver Hire franchisee reports a December turnover of £13.1m, 14% up on the same period in 2016. The boost stems from a nationwide boost in demand for Driver Hire’s team of temporary workers. Driver Hire’s chief executive, Chris Chidley, said: “Once again there’s been a big demand for our service in the run-up to Christmas.

“As in previous years, the increasing percentage of online retail sales – which create more home deliveries – has played a significant part in our success.

“In addition, our core national account customers, for whom high quality reliable service really matters, have also kept us exceptionally busy.”

Driver Hire has seen a strong trading throughout the financial year across its network nationwide. A third of Driver Hire’s 102 offices have individually surpassed a £1m turnover whilst two offices hit £2m turnover and six offices are on their way to reaching landmark targets by next month.

Chris Chidley added: “Our ability to deliver the right people to meet the demands of our customers, along with a highly compliant 24/7, 365 days a year service continues to set us in good stead.

“That is being reflected with strong trading, right across our network.”
