Bluestones Logistics places permanent logistics and transport talent for UK employers. From HGV drivers to fleet directors, we know which CPC, ADR or O-Licence experience the role really needs and which it can do without.
"They sent us four pre-vetted Class 1s in a week. Tachos checked, references called, ready to start. The driver we hired is still on the fleet."
We know the disciplines, we check the licences, and we send the right people for the right work, the first time.
Every driver candidate arrives with current licence category, CPC card, digital tacho card, ADR endorsements (where applicable) and DCPC hours verified before introduction.
Most logistics briefs receive their first qualified shortlist within a week. Senior or specialist briefs may take a fortnight, we tell you upfront.
Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire does not stick within the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge.

Bluestones Logistics is a UK permanent recruitment partner focused on logistics and transport. Every candidate we introduce is direct-hire, salaried, on your payroll the day they start. We do not run a temp desk. The talent we work with wants steady work, a fair rate and a transport office that runs by the book.
Logistics hires differently to other sectors. The right driver is the one whose digital tacho is clean, whose DCPC hours are current, whose references say he turns up on time and follows the run sheet. We check all three before a name reaches your desk. The wrong hire on a transport fleet costs more than time, it costs the round, the customer and the O-Licence good standing.
Our network spans the UK with strong coverage across the East and West Midlands, the M62 corridor, the South East, Scotland and South Wales. National contracts, regional fleets and single-depot operators are all welcome.
Every direct-hire placement carries a free replacement period. If a hire leaves or is dismissed inside the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge. The window is usually 8 weeks for drivers and 12 weeks for transport managers and supervisory hires.
