Welcome to the festive edition of The Extra Mile! 🎅
As another busy year draws to a close, we want to pause and say a huge thank you to our brilliant drivers for the commitment, professionalism and hard work you show day in, day out.
This special Christmas edition is our way of celebrating you. Inside, you’ll find a mix of festive cheer, useful updates and a few lighter moments to help bring the year to a close on a high.
And of course, no festive edition would be complete without Gwynne’s annual Christmas poem - a much-loved Driver Require tradition that brings a smile, a bit of reflection, and a heartfelt thank you for everything you do to keep the country moving at Christmas.
So put the kettle on, take a moment to relax, and enjoy this year’s festive highlights.
From everyone at Driver Require, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy New Year! 🎉

Some Festive Rivalry 🎉
Reigning Quiz Champions🎉
Massive thank you to our lovely office neighbours 1Decision for another fantastic quiz night. Year three of our friendly rivalry… and Driver Require have claimed the trophy for the second year running!
And yes, Gwynne was VERY happy about it, as proven by the photo of him hugging the trophy like it’s his long-lost best friend!
Next year’s quiz? We’re coming back to defend our title!
Christmas Jumper Day 👕
On 12th December our teams at Head Office, Stevenage and Tamworth donned their festive wear for Christmas Jumper Day, in aid of Save the Children.
We are delighted to have raised £54 and saw a good variety of jumpers (see below). If you'd like to donate to a worthy cause, Save The Children, you can do so here.
