Typically covering areas such as Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, Suffolk driving recruitment agencies will aim to provide drivers for all categories of industry vacancies. Also working with clients in Lowestoft and Felixstowe, local driving recruitment firms will commonly recruit Suffolk drivers for HGV, LGV, logistics, agriculture and 7.5 tonne job roles. The industry is currently facing a shortage of quality drivers and specialist agencies are tasked with tackling this problem and supplying candidates for the permanent, temporary or contract jobs of their clients.
Salaries for Suffolk driving candidates will vary depending on the class of vehicle, with HGV and 7.5 tonne drivers usually earning the highest salaries at potentially £35K+ per annum. New entrants into courier or forklift roles are usually the lowest paid staff at £10K-£12K, however these can rise with experience and soon reach the Suffolk driving average of around £24K.
The driving industry in Suffolk isn't particularly qualification led, with a driving license and an awareness of EU and UK laws usually being the main credentials needed by candidates. Depending on the class of vehicle, additional training will typically be required with a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) needed for all LGV and PCV job roles. HGV and 7.5 tonne drivers will also need specific training.
Driving recruitment agencies in Suffolk are experts at sourcing professional drivers for vacancies within East Anglia. Top driving recruiters will usually perform skill and license checks to ensure that they supply competent and qualified candidates to their clients.
