Motor Transport Jobs – ‘Winner’ – Best Transport and Logistics Recruitment Provider

Given the challenges of recruitment in the logistics and transport sector, and the demand to increase exporting and importing within the UK, we felt that Motor Transport Jobs (and Logistics Job Shop) are taking immense strives in digitalising the sector and providing detailed information and databases of drivers within the haulage sector. That’s why we awarded David Coombes from Motor Transport Jobs as winners for the Best Transport and Logistics Recruitment Provider at the Trade Finance Global Recruitment Awards for Excellence.
