Financial details and profit figures re Driver Hire Birmingham West can be provided following an initial conversation.

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) for 2021/22 was over £1.2m.
