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.
