Local Logistics Intelligence

Why Lichfield Employers Fill Temporary Driving Jobs

Lichfield (WS13/WS14) is anchored to one of the Midlands' biggest logistics hubs: Fradley Park, a 300-plus-acre distribution and industrial estate on the A38 just 4.5 miles from the M6 Toll (T5). Occupiers include DHL, Screwfix, Tesco, Yodel and a large ASOS fulfilment operation, putting some 85% of the UK within a 4.5-hour HGV drive via the A38's links to the M6, M42, M40, M1 and A50. Closer to the city, Britannia Enterprise Park and the Wall Island area carry trade, warehousing and manufacturing units. Positioned between Burton upon Trent, Tamworth and Birmingham, Lichfield channels heavy rigid and articulated flows through Fradley toward national RDCs, making it one of Staffordshire's busiest distribution gateways.

That concentration drives constant demand to fill temporary driving jobs. Retail and e-commerce fulfilment at Fradley needs Class 1 (C+E) trunking drivers; 3PL and warehousing operators call for Class 2 (C) drivers; and store, trade-counter and urban deliveries suit 7.5t (C1) and multi-drop van drivers. Volumes surge around retail peaks, promotional pushes and holiday absence, when one empty cab stalls a fulfilment line. WSUK supplies vetted Lichfield drivers for temporary cover, ongoing contracts and multi-driver mobilisations, with DVLA licence and CPC checks, right-to-work verification, PAYE payroll and tacho and working-time compliance handled up front, scaling crews up or down as Fradley volumes dictate.
