Following their attendance at the Driver Hire Summer Conference at the beginning of July, the Leeds employment and Incasso teams have both received instructions from Driver Hire franchisees.

Established in Bingley, West Yorkshire in 1984, the Driver Hire Group now has 120 offices nationwide. The UK’s number one supplier of temporary goods vehicle drivers to the road transport industry, the company has an average of 3,000 drivers on the road every day.

The Leeds employment team, led by partner Ron Drake, already acts for a number of the franchisees as well as the Group’s head office but, for the first time, has received instructions from Driver Hire Colchester, Driver Hire Gloucester and Driver Hire Grangemouth.

The Birmingham Incasso team have been instructed by Driver Hire Chelmsford for Debt Recovery work.

Both teams also gained an introduction to senior members of the HBoS Franchise Support team, who co-sponsored the event, and senior staff from Vodafone who had helped facilitate the event.

Commenting on the success: “This is an excellent example of effective cross selling between practice areas. Ron Drake has been trying to get us an introduction to the senior board of directors for over 2 years and finally he succeeded, without Ron at the conference speaking so highly of the Incasso service I am confident we would not have created the opportunity to meet with the senior board members of Driver Hire next week”.
