Driver Hire maintains Top Five position in UK’s TOP 100 UK franchises

Driver Hire has maintained its Top Five position in Elite Franchise magazine’s Top 100 UK franchises – one of the franchise industry’s most prestigious listings.

The list of UK’s top franchisors for 2025 was announced on 6 December with Driver Hire ranking fifth in the official HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100.

In its ninth year, this highly anticipated ranking honours excellence in franchising, spotlighting businesses that set the standard for innovation, resilience and success. Positions are based on how franchises tackle challenges and ensure long-term success, as well as their performance, business model and franchise support. Other famous names in the top ten include Subway, Caremark and Snap-on Tools.

Commenting on this positive news, Graham Duckworth, Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director said:

“There are around 1,000 franchise brands in the UK, so even making the Elite Franchise Top 100 is a remarkable achievement to be proud of. Finishing in the top five of this highly important industry listing speaks volumes about the quality of a Driver Hire franchise. It’s also reflected in the high number of enquiries we receive from potential new franchisees.

What’s more, our network are enjoying excellent trading in the current financial year, so we’re hoping to see us moving even higher up the league table next year.”
