Drivers Direct opens in Crewe and Derby

Aug 30 | 2011

Drivers Direct has just acquired Transport Solutions.

Specialist recruitment company Drivers Direct has expanded with the acquisition of a company with branches in Crewe and Derby that is run by a former employee Danny Jellicoe.

The company, which specialises in the recruitment and placement of temporary and permanent drivers of all classes, has just acquired Transport Solutions whose branches will add to its extensive UK-wide network, and strengthen its presence in the <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">North West region. 

Crewe is seen to occupy a strategic position on the southern boundary of the North West region close to junction 16 of the M6, while Derby’s location at the heart of the UK and proximity to an excellent road network makes it easily accessible to other regions in the country.

 

Drivers Direct’s new branches will also be able to tap into a number of support services at the company’s Runcorn headquarters – including remote transport management and training services – and benefit from being on the preferred suppliers list of several blue chip organisations.

Gethin Roberts, Managing Director of Drivers Direct, said: “Drivers Direct has established itself as a major player in the industry and our new branches in Crewe and Derby will play a key role in extending our reach to more clients throughout the UK.”
