A Bit About Our Client

Our client is a well-established, family‑run business with nearly 40 years experience, specialising in long-term, fully maintained vehicle leasing solutions. They work with a wide range of commercial and public sector clients, including major NHS contracts, and manage a fleet of over 2,000 vehicles: from cars and minibuses through to HGVs and artic vehicles.

Due to continued growth, they are expanding and will soon be moving into a brand‑new, purpose‑built, state‑of‑the‑art facility in Huddersfield.

The role

This is not your typical HGV driving role. It offers variety, structure, and stability – ideal for someone who enjoys being on the move but also being part of a close-knit, supportive team.

You will be responsible for delivering and collecting vehicles nationwide, ensuring they are presented to a high standard, and supporting yard duties when not out on the road.

Key Duties Include

  • Delivering and collecting a range of vehicles (cars, vans, minibuses, HGVs) across the UK
  • Completing vehicle checks and reporting any damage or issues
  • Maintaining high presentation standards, including valeting vehicles when required
  • Supporting the yard team during quieter periods
  • Occasionally assisting with vehicle recovery (full training provided)
  • Providing a professional and friendly service to customers at all times

The ideal candidate

  • Class 2 (Category C) licence with valid CPC
  • A flexible, can‑do attitude – this is key in a family‑run business
  • Physically fit and happy with a hands‑on role
  • Someone who takes pride in vehicle presentation
  • Strong communication skills and a professional approach with customers
  • Comfortable with nationwide travel and varied days
  • Reliable, organised, and able to work independently
  • Must live within 30 minutes of Huddersfield

Why apply?

This role offers the best of both worlds: structured, weekday hours with variety in your day‑to‑day work. You’ll be part of a supportive, down‑to‑earth team where personality and attitude matter just as much as experience.
