<p class="text-muted mb-3">The Opportunity</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">I am currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 2 HIAB Drivers on behalf of my client, an award-winning international designer and manufacturer of premium surfaces for the commercial and residential interiors sector.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Following the relocation of my client’s Head Office and Distribution Centre to Lutterworth, Leicestershire, they are expanding their existing driver team and are looking for experienced, professional drivers to join the business.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">My client prides itself on providing a premium delivery service, and its drivers play a key role in maintaining this reputation.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">You will be responsible for ensuring large engineered stone slabs are transported and delivered safely and efficiently to customers across the UK.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This is more than simply a driving position. As a customer-facing representative of the business, you will build and maintain strong relationships with an established and loyal customer base while providing a professional and reliable service.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The Role</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The successful candidate will operate one of my client’s well-equipped HGV vehicles and will be responsible for the safe transportation and delivery of premium stone products.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">You will work 45 hours per week, with flexibility required around start times. The role involves 2–3 nights away from home each week, using a fully equipped sleeper cab.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">In addition to the basic salary, drivers receive a £25 tax-free payment for each night out, together with a subsistence meal allowance.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This position would particularly suit someone with previous driving experience within a builders’ merchant, construction materials, stone, timber or similar distribution environment.</p>
