After 26 weeks’ trading, over a quarter of the specialist transport and logistics recruiter’s franchised offices have already passed the half million pound turnover mark and two offices are past a million.
TURNOVER
August and September saw average weekly turnover just short of 25 per cent ahead of the same time last year.
And according to Driver Hire chief executive Chris Chidley (pictured), there’s more good news for franchisees: “The run-up to Christmas is Driver Hire’s busiest period of the year.
“Hard-pressed parcel delivery companies turn to us for ‘final mile deliveries’ to homes and offices during the Christmas rush.
BENEFICIARIES
“If, as predicted, Christmas 2013 proves to be the busiest yet for online sales, we’ll be one of the beneficiaries.
“And it’s not just delivery drivers - as the economy picks up there’s been a general all round increase in the demand for temporary transport and logistics staff.”
