The World Cup kicks off on Thursday, and for the next few weeks, the world will be watching teams that have spent years perfecting how to work together under pressure.

It's a good reminder that the best results, on the pitch or off it, come down to having the right people in the right place at the right time.

That's what we do every day. Whether it's last-minute cover, a planned absence, or a longer-term arrangement, we make sure your operation keeps moving — no gaps, no disruption.

If you need reliable drivers and logistics staff across Devon, give us a call.

Some people drive trucks. Some drive vans. Some work in warehouses. Some run transport offices.

Different people. Different journeys. One industry.

We've always believed that what matters most is how people treat each other.

Pride Month is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate diversity whilst remembering that everyone deserves to feel respected, valued and welcome at work.

To our drivers, clients, candidates and colleagues from all walks of life, Happy Pride Month.

What a half term that was!

The Devon was absolutely basking in some glorious weather, and from what we saw, our local businesses were truly thriving because of it.

Crowded parking lots, busy streets, all the demand – it was great to see, and we were right there supporting those businesses that needed the extra hands to keep things moving.

Here's hoping that's a sign of things to come, because June is just the opening act.

It is one of the busiest times of the year in the South West, and the demand for reliable drivers and logistics staff is increasing as the summer peak in July and August draws closer.

Whether you're a business already thinking ahead or a driver looking for work this summer, Driver Hire/dh Recruitment (Torbay & Barnstaple) is here and ready.

Let's make it a great one. 🌞

Not every permanent job starts with a permanent contract.

And honestly, for a lot of people, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Temp-to-perm gives you the chance to get a feel for the role, the company and the day-to-day reality of the job before making a long-term commitment.

You get to see:
• What the workload is really like
• Whether the hours suit your lifestyle
• What the management and team are like
• If the role genuinely feels right for you

For many candidates, it takes some of the pressure and uncertainty out of changing jobs.

Driver Hire/dh Recruitment Torbay & Barnstaple are currently looking to fill a number of temp-to-perm positions, including the following:

• HGV Class 2 Wholesale Delivery Drivers
• Window & Door Fitters
• HGV Class 2 Refuse Drivers
• Bus Drivers
• Van Drivers
• HGV Class 2 HIAB Drivers with Hook

Some roles have multiple positions available.

If you are looking for a fresh start, a long-term opportunity or simply want to explore what is out there without jumping straight into something permanent, temp-to-perm could be worth considering.

We had to share this one.

A client got in touch this week to pass on their thanks after one of our drivers found himself caught up in an unexpected forklift breakdown mid-loading. Rather than getting frustrated, he stayed calm, worked with the team to find the safest solution, and kept everything professional from start to finish.

The client told us his "level-headed approach, understanding and cooperation immediately helped ease the pressure" — and that his attitude "did not go unnoticed".

That's what Driver Hire/dh Recruitment Torbay & Barnstaple are all about. Drivers who don't just do the job but also represent your business brilliantly when it matters most.

To our driver, Stuart – you're an absolute credit. Well done. 👏
