About Top Tier Recruitment
Specialist HGV recruitment, built on reliability and long-term partnerships
Top Tier Recruitment is a specialist agency dedicated to the transport and logistics sector. Based in London, we connect businesses across the UK with experienced, reliable HGV drivers and logistics staff, keeping operations moving even under demanding conditions.
We know this industry inside out — the compliance requirements, the tight schedules, and the importance of getting the right person in the cab. That’s why we take the time to understand each client’s operation and each driver’s experience, matching the two on more than a licence and a CV.
With a dedicated on-call team available 24/7, we’ve built our reputation on consistency, communication, and trust — values that shape every partnership, whether it’s a single shift of cover or an ongoing driver supply contract.
