New to the Midlands, Not to HGV Recruitment

We're new to the Midlands. Not to HGV recruitment.

At Elite Logistics & Transport Recruitment, we've been supporting transport and logistics businesses with experienced HGV drivers since 2014. Now, we're expanding our recruitment services into the Midlands, bringing our industry expertise, reliable drivers and flexible staffing solutions to businesses across the region.

Whether you need ongoing driver support, temporary cover or additional drivers during busy periods, we're here to help keep your operation moving.

Why the Midlands?

The Midlands sits at the heart of UK logistics.

With the M1, M6, M42 and A14 running through the region, it's home to the Golden Logistics Triangle – an area including Coventry, Rugby and Daventry, with one of the highest concentrations of warehouses and distribution centres in the UK.

From here, 90% of the British population is within a four-hour drive.

That's why so many retailers, hauliers and logistics providers choose to operate in the region. However, with such a high concentration of logistics businesses comes strong demand for experienced HGV drivers.

For transport and logistics businesses, that can mean:

Increased competition for experienced, reliable drivers
Pressure to cover holidays, sickness and busy periods
Unexpected gaps in driver availability.
Difficulty finding suitable drivers at short notice.

That's where having a specialist HGV recruitment partner can make a real difference.

Specialist Industry Knowledge

Our recruitment team understands the demands of the transport and logistics sector. We take the time to learn about your operation, requirements and expectations to help match the right drivers to your business.

Our Approach

Our focus remains simple.

Reliable – drivers you can count on, shift after shift.
Professional – experienced Class 1 and Class 2 drivers who know the job.
Dependable – support when you need it, with no unnecessary hassle.

By understanding your operation, routes and specific requirements, we can match drivers to your business and provide reliable support when you need it.

Planning Ahead for Christmas Peak

The run-up to Christmas is one of the busiest periods of the year for transport and logistics businesses.

Delivery volumes increase, schedules become tighter and the demand for experienced HGV drivers grows.

For businesses already managing busy operations, unexpected absences or additional workloads can quickly create challenges.

Planning ahead can make all the difference.

If you're expecting increased demand over the coming weeks, now is a good time to review your driver requirements and arrange additional support.

Whether you need extra drivers for a few shifts or ongoing cover throughout the peak period, our team is here to discuss how we can help.
