Our customers include the Public Service Sector, The majority of car and commercial vehicle national breakdown Assistance providers, Main Dealers, Local hauliers, and general retail customers.
Due to a steadily increasing workload and expanding coverage areas, We are currently looking to recruit additional Class 2 day drivers to join our team.

All applicants must have the ability to deal professionally, calmly and courteously with a wide range of customers at all times.
As a Recovery Driver, you will spend lots of time working in various environments, at customers premises, homes and on site but also working at the roadside in all weathers.
Within your role of Recovery Driver, you will be attending stricken vehicles in a number of scenario's. You will be expected to safely prepare and load vehicles onto your recovery truck to simply move them from one site to another, but you will also find other scenarios on a daily basis, basic assistance with providing a wheel change, a jump start or occasionally re-positioning the casualty onto hardstanding.
These situations are sometimes considered to be high-pressure environments.
