Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

Demand for temporary drivers is huge, with this market alone estimated to be worth £3b-£4b per annum, in the UK. Even though Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist provider, it still holds a relatively low market share.

Therefore, the Birmingham West business still provides plenty of scope for significant growth. For example, the huge increase in home shopping has stimulated demand for multi-drop delivery drivers.

In addition to supplying temporary staff (drivers and non-driving staff), Driver Hire franchisees can generate revenue from providing permanent staff, delivering classroom-based driver training and selling further complimentary products and services e.g. an online driving licence checker and online learning modules.

Competition / Market:

The recruitment sector (including logistics recruitment) is a thriving and competitive market. Our franchisees benefit from an extremely strong brand, proven business processes and extensive support. Combined with the hard work, motivation and commitment of the franchise owner, Driver Hire has a competitive edge which helps ensure its franchisees consistently succeed.

As mentioned earlier, the average full year turnover of a Driver Hire business (single office) between 2017/18 and 2020/21 was over £1m.

Trading hours:

Usually 08.00 –16.30 office hours but 24/7 on-call provision is essential.

Employees:

The new franchisee will be required to build a new team and will be supported by Driver Hire in doing so.

Years established:

Driver Hire is a well-established service provider in Birmingham, having supplied customers from 1992 to present.

Other Information

Support & training:

As you would expect from a leading franchise, Driver Hire (the franchisor) provides you with a comprehensive support package, helping you to plan, launch and develop your business to its maximum potential.

The initial training includes a 2-week Foundation Course, and typically, at least 2 weeks in a Driver Hire office - helping to get you off to a good start. Once you take over the business, and over the coming months, you will then be guided and supported through a Franchise Support Programme (by your allocated Driver Hire Area Development Manager).

Support from the various Driver Hire head office teams (c 75 staff) is available during offices hours: marketing, national accounts, IT, finance, compliance, and HR.

In addition, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn from fellow franchisees, through regional meetings, Driver Hire’s online forum, and simply from talking over the phone (especially with your neighbouring franchisees).

Driver Hire’s support is one major reason for its external recognition. Driver Hire is a six-times bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year award winner, including the Franchisor of the Year Gold award in 2019. Driver Hire is ranked the top recruitment franchise in the Elite Franchise Top 100 list for 2018, 2019 and 2020 (and placed 3rd across all franchise brands).

Driver Hire is a full British Franchise Association member and Graham Duckworth, Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director, holds the bfa’s ‘Qualified Franchise Professional’ certification.
