With the HGV driver shortage in the United Kingdom currently showing little sign of easing, logistics companies are doing everything they can to overcome the current challenges. And in a bid to alleviate these issues, at HGVC, we’re announcing the launch of our Their House to Wheels (TH2W) scheme that provides an on-demand supply of future drivers to locations across the country.
Offering a new take on the Warehouse to Wheels concept that’s common across the logistics industry, our scheme seeks to provide qualified drivers precisely where they’re needed. Serving many companies that have been severely impacted by the current skills gap, our aim is to play a major role in keeping the wheels of commerce turning during this difficult time.
How the TH2W Scheme Works
The TH2W scheme is designed to make things much easier for companies to grow their driver workforce despite the increasingly scarce pool of HGV drivers available for recruitment. First, our clients inform us of the volume and location of their driver requirement. We then leverage our extensive network and huge database of consumer leads to find potential candidates interested in a career as a driver. We screen all applicants and send the suitable ones to the business for an interview. If successful, the candidate will join the business and begin employment there, carrying out various different functions while they train for their HGV licence with HGVC. After completing their HGV training with us and acquiring their licence entitlement, the employee ‘graduates’ to becoming a fully-qualified HGV driver, ready to embark on their rewarding new career and the business gets one more qualified HGV driver to fill their open vacancy.
Well Placed to Offer Industry-Leading Training
At HGVC, we are very well placed to provide this kind of large-scale training program, as it’s something we’ve been doing with great success for many years. The fully managed solutions that we provide are proven to deliver results and our vast UK network gives us the capacity to deal with HGV licence acquisition programs of all sizes.
Our pass rates are the highest in the industry too, with over 75% of our students achieving their HGV driving licence at the first time of asking. The experienced instructors we employ are able to do all this while providing training that delivers success fast, meaning businesses get the required skilled employees sooner.
In addition to this, our partnership with Manpower – the largest recruitment provider in the country – gives us access to one of the largest talent pools in existence. So, whatever the size of the requirement, we have the experience, expertise and infrastructure to deliver what’s needed.
