Milestone Operations is proud to announce the launch of its new website and job board.
The company is a specialist in the recruitment of professional drivers and industry experts in primarily the transport, distribution and utilities sectors of the market place. This can be on a permanent or temporary basis and clients can expect a high level of customer service and creative thinking. They have been operating since 2005, building strong working relationships with blue-chip and local clients alike and providing top quality European and British drivers during times of scarcity. Their head office is based in London with branches in Bristol, Hatfield and Warrington. They are also co-located on client sites throughout the country.
What makes Milestone stand out from the crowd is the fact that they use creative solutions to meet their clients’ recruitment demands. Clients can expect a complete understanding of their business accompanied by technology that is designed to deliver an increase in efficiency and a reduction in operational costs. The company has developed a unique driver management system, which assists in the improvement of driver performance and can be adapted to the particular business needs of a customer. There are several modules in the system. One example is the booking system module. This allows the client to enter their requirements and these will be matched to available drivers. A plug-in to the booking module allows the user to keep track of shifts being worked and receiving the most information on a continuous basis. Others include a driver passport, debrief, reporting and partner agency modules.
Milestone ensures that the application process for all their drivers is a friendly and efficient experience. They refer to all their drivers as ‘Colleagues’ and aim to be helpful, professional and fun. Their ‘Smile Miles’ rewards scheme is an industry first and is designed to encourage their drivers to remain motivated by rewarding good behaviour and work. When a certain milestone is reached, these ‘smile miles’ can be exchanged for vouchers for a variety of treats including football tickets, dinner for two or days out with the family. Jobs available to candidates include HGV, LGV and forklift drivers, warehouse workers, shift supervisors, transport managers and many more. Milestone offers training opportunities and training videos to their Colleagues, adheres to strict health and safety regulations as well as promoting a clear understanding of the new Agency Workers Rights legislation amongst their drivers.
Milestone Operations delivers a completely professional service to their drivers and clients. Only experienced quality drivers are sourced according to the requirements of their clients. Drivers are put through a ‘gold-plated recruitment process’ that includes screening, interview, psychometric testing, assessment and site induction. From the initial introduction to completion, the Milestone experience is one that is trouble free and also has an element of fun.
George Campbell Collins, Director of Milestone Operations commented – “Our approach is pretty simple. We like to think that when someone starts working with us they join the Milestone community. It sounds a bit cheesy but once you join us, you become one of our Colleagues with a capital C”
