About KWS

Recruiters that understand how transport works.

Run by industry people from haulage and warehousing. Operational recruitment from people who know how transport actually works, because we have done the jobs ourselves.

Origin

We came from the cab, not the office.

KWS was built by people who have worked inside transport, warehousing and logistics operations themselves. Our planners and management team understand the pressures that come with running fleets, covering warehouse shifts and keeping deliveries moving when things change at short notice.

We know the difference between finding available staff and finding the right staff. Experience, attitude, communication and reliability matter just as much as licences or qualifications. A driver who fits one operation perfectly may not fit another; the same applies to warehouse and logistics support roles.

That operational understanding shapes how we recruit. We know RDC environments, multidrop pressures, port work, transport offices and warehouse shifts, and how much planners need to trust the people arriving on site. No scripted account managers, no disconnected sales teams. Just experienced planners working directly with clients, drivers and warehouse staff every day.

“If we cannot place the right driver for the job, we will say so. We do not bluff staffing.”Operating principle, since 2019

How we work

Three steps. No theatre.

1Brief us

Send the role, shift pattern, site postcode and any specific licence or CPC requirements. We come back the same day.

2We vet and match

Every worker goes through right-to-work, licence and CPC verification, plus references. Tachograph hours are checked before they reach you.

3Staff on site

We confirm in writing, send the driver name, licence number and contact, and the driver turns up at the agreed time.

Compliance

Compliant by default. Not as a feature.

Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. Every placement is GLAA-licensed labour supply with documented right-to-work, verified licences and references on file.
