Hey , fastest finger first, answer our riddle and win a voucher ☕

May is normally a business-as-usual month, sandwiched between two Bank Holidays. This year we have a bonus and it will be slightly different with our end-of-May Bank Holiday being slightly delayed. Instead, we’ll have an extra Bank Holiday, giving some of us 2 days off on 2nd and 3rd June, to mark and celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Can anyone imagine being in the same job for 70 years?! 😲

I remember celebrating the Queen’s Silver Jubilee (yep, I am that old!) with a street party and all the celebrations for her Golden Jubilee being extraordinary, I can only imagine it will be as special for this year’s celebration. Are you celebrating? We would love to see your celebrations – please send any pictures by email to marketing@driverrequire.co.uk.

This month we donated £1200 to the Ukraine crisis through The British Red Cross – Driver Require very kindly provide all branch and Head Office employees a charitable donation each year to use and some of us chose to donate ours to the crisis so that families in need will be supported. This is the link if you wish to get personally involved https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal.

Karlis is a HGV2 driver, working for Booker in Erith but helps out other clients when required. His longevity and also his willingness to always go the extra mile to help is admirable. Karlis will support with work at short notice and has covered weekend shifts previously.

"Karlis does around 8-10 drops per day to shops. It’s kerbside deliveries with cadges and is very physical, yet he goes in daily, with varying shift start times and never complains. He simply gets on with the job, the reports we get back from Booker are very positive and they love his attitude and flexibility." Stuart Moss, Branch Manager, Dartford

As a big "THANK YOU" for being a Driver Require Superhero and going Beyond the Extra Mile, we will be sending Karlis a £25 Amazon gift card.

Thank you Karlis, for all of your hard work and Going the Extra Mile to get the job done, from all of the team at Driver Require.
