Mick George Ltd operates one of the largest vehicle fleets in the region with more than 240 HGV vehicles delivering aggregates, concrete and skips, as well as an additional 100 smaller vehicles for a number of other services. As the business endeavours to expand, it recently launched its very own 'Driving Academy' to combat the shortfall of lorry drivers in the UK.
Joe Gossage, transport manager at Mick George, said: "The Driver Academy will give the company a sustainable source of new HGV drivers, while further increasing employment opportunities to our local communities. We are looking to recruit both experienced and new drivers in which the 'Driver Academy' will provide the opportunity to become a qualified Class 2 driver with excellent career prospects and the opportunity to earn over £33,000 per year.''
The 'Driver Academy' will provide a total licence acquisition service, providing complete support for all aspects. Traditionally drivers would need to qualify using third parties, however Mick George Ltd have the benefit of two recently qualified personnel within their ranks following successful training by RTITB.
Gossage continued: ''We have made substantial investment into our 'Driver Academy' and we are fortunate to be able to provide the compulsory training internally at the appropriate standard. All over the business we aim to recruit the best people who will assist with our ambitious growth plans.''
