About Us:
We’re a family-run business based in Derbyshire, specialising in recruiting top-quality drivers for the live music and entertainment industry. Our drivers don’t just move gear — they’re part of the show. From festivals to arena tours, every day is different, and no two gigs are the same.
The Role:
We're looking for a Class 1 HGV Driver to join our growing team. You'll be driving trucks across the UK (and often into Europe), delivering staging, lighting, and sound equipment for high-profile live events. This is a client-facing role — so professionalism, confidence, and a can-do attitude are essential.
What We’re Looking For:
✅ Full Class 1 (CE) Licence
✅ Valid EU CPC (essential)
✅ Experience working in live events/touring (preferred)
✅ Comfortable working across the UK and Europe
✅ Smart, switched-on, and reliable
✅ Strong communication skills — you’ll be dealing with clients and crews on-site
✅ Flexible with working hours and travel
What You’ll Get:
Competitive day rates – discussed at interview
Opportunities to travel UK-wide and across Europe
Be part of the live events industry – behind the scenes of major music tours and festivals
Work with a supportive, family-run team who understand the job inside out
Sound like you?
