Driver Hire welcomes Manchester South’s new franchisee

Mike Williams is the new owner of the Manchester South location of the Driver Hire network.

Mike Williams is the newest franchisee to join leading recruitment franchise Driver Hire’s network. Williams has enjoyed an interesting career prior to his acquisition of the business. He first joined the RAF upon leaving school. Then, he worked in sales and more recently for a waste management company. But he’s no newbie to the franchising process: he operated four very successful Subway branches in Manchester too.

Business franchise Driver Hire has been established for over thirty years, providing temporary and permanent drivers in the logistics industry for a range of clients. The recruitment company is perfect for clients who are short on staff due to holiday, sick leave or during their particularly busy trading periods.

Mike, who is thrilled with his new change in career, said:

“I wanted to work for myself again, but without the risks involved in a stand-alone start-up venture. Franchising was the obvious answer. In addition to buying into an already proven business model, you’re a part of a network with support from the franchisor and fellow franchisees. Driver Hire particularly appealed because it’s a B2B franchise with success governed by the amount of sales activity you put into the business.”

Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director, Graham Duckworth, is always delighted for its network to branch out. He commented:

“It’s great to welcome a new franchisee to our nationwide network. Mike is really looking forward to meeting the recruitment needs of local businesses on his patch. We’re sure he’s going to be a great success and we’ll be offering him plenty of support to ensure his new business venture proves to be the right move.”
