It’s twenty years since Mike Jones worked as a van driver for Driver Hire Birmingham, the leading transport & logistics recruitment company. It clearly left a good impression because, two decades later, Mike has just bought the Driver Hire Birmingham East franchise.
In the intervening years, Mike built a successful
career in the food and drink industry most recently working for Delice de France, where he was a senior sales manager.
“Driver Hire operates in an essential industry with consistent demand. Its nationwide office network helps their clients meet delivery deadlines,” says Mike. “In that way, it’s not unlike the food business which made it a natural fit for me. I’ve always liked the idea of working for myself because you benefit directly from the hard work you put in. Franchising offers a lower risk way of doing this, because you’re investing in an already proven business model.”
Established over 40 years, Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist supplier, providing temporary and permanent drivers and other logistics staff to local and national organisations in both the public and private sector. If they’re short of staff – perhaps because of illness, holidays or seasonal demand – Driver Hire will supply them with a suitable replacement.
