When people leave careers, whether it’s through retirement of just a change of direction, we would normally expect the new generation to fill up the jobs from the bottom up, often described as the career cycle. However, the logistics industry has suffered a lack of new applicants to fill up the vacancies as people leave the industry and notably, new LGV licence applications have fallen more than 25% since 2008!

Here at Premier Placement Services, we’re dedicated to helping the industry to thrive with the all-important drivers it needs to ensure logistics run smoothly, but how do we do it you might ask? By recruiting the right people, we’re allowing candidates to choose their career as a driver in the logistics industry by ensuring they make informed decisions about the job, and they know all the benefits and restrictions it can offer them.

Once the right people have registered with us we pass them through the recruitment stages to match them to the right company. As we all know, every company culture is different, fitting the right drivers to the right organisation is important to us, and that’s why we succeed.

How do we retain the drivers?

The truthful answer is, we don’t! You do! Because the right people get through our recruitment process, those who have chosen their career as a driver and have been matched to your organisation are more motivated, efficient and loyal.

If you’re in need of some new drivers to take care of your fleet, you can request them from us or contact us to find out more about our drivers.
