Cannock's Kingswood Lakeside is one of Staffordshire's biggest distribution parks, home to national logistics names beside the M6 and M6 Toll. When driver absence or demand climbs, WSUK supplies temporary HGV and van drivers — vetted, compliant and ready across WS11 and WS12.
WSUK fills temporary driving jobs for Cannock employers — Class 1 (C+E), Class 2 (C) and 7.5t (C1) HGV drivers plus van and multi-drop drivers — for peaks, cover and short-notice shifts. From Kingswood Lakeside and Hawks Green out to the M6 (J11–J12) and M6 Toll (T7), we mobilise vetted, licence- and CPC-checked drivers fast, with PAYE payroll and tacho compliance managed.
Cannock's logistics profile is dominated by Kingswood Lakeside, a major distribution park just off the M6 Toll (T7) and around four miles from the M6 at Junction 11, whose occupiers include national names such as DHL, APC and Veolia running large-scale distribution. Further activity clusters at Hawks Green, Tom Hill and the Cannock Chase business estates, with the Black Country conurbations of Walsall and Wolverhampton close by adding manufacturing and general haulage traffic. The town's position where the M6, M6 Toll and A5 meet places it firmly in the West Midlands logistics belt, feeding trunking routes toward Birmingham, the Golden Triangle and the ports. E-commerce fulfilment, contract logistics, packaging and general distribution all operate here at scale, and with warehouse floorspace still expanding around Kingswood Lakeside, the need for HGV and delivery drivers remains consistently high.
The scale of distribution at Kingswood Lakeside and across Cannock means transport managers regularly need extra drivers — e-commerce peaks, contract mobilisations, sickness and holiday cover all create gaps at short notice. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking on the M6 and M6 Toll, Class 2 (C) drivers for rigid distribution, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers, and van and multi-drop drivers for last-mile rounds across WS11 and WS12. Every driver is vetted with DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work confirmation, and we run PAYE payroll with tacho and working-time compliance managed. From one shift to a full seasonal team, we scale driver supply to your throughput.
