HGV Driver Recruitment in Widnes
Widnes, in the borough of Halton, sits on the River Mersey and has one of the North West’s most important freight gateways. The M62 runs along its northern side and the Mersey Gateway bridge links it to Runcorn and the south.
The 3MG area, the Mersey Multimodal Gateway, combines road, rail and port links, and has a growing cluster of large warehouses. Ditton, to the west of the town centre, has its own industrial and distribution sites near M62 junction 6.
HGV Driving Work Around Widnes
HGV work in Widnes is linked closely to the warehouses and rail freight at 3MG and Ditton, with Class 1 trunking and Class 2 distribution both used. Some chemical and tank-container operations in the area also need ADR-certified drivers.
