Twenty years in coach driver recruitment
DH Team was established on 8th January 2006 in Torquay. Over 20 years, we've grown from a small local operation into the UK's largest dedicated coach driver hire and recruitment company, where our commitment to operators remains unchanged: a driver you can trust, on time, every time.
“Absolutely great team to work with. Highly recommended!”

The true value of compliance
The coaching industry is evolving quickly, creating real opportunities for operators alongside real compliance and recruitment challenges. Every one of the 250 drivers we supply understands they're representing your company each time they're behind the wheel, and that is evident in how they work.
We fully comply with HMRC IR35 regulations and operate a completely PAYE employment model. No self-employed drivers. No freelance drivers. No Ltd company drivers. No cash-in-hand arrangements. No umbrella companies. Operators partnering with us get a driving team that integrates into their existing operations while carrying none of the compliance risk associated with off-payroll labour.

Industry partnerships
We're proud members of several leading recognised standards bodies in the industry, including the United Kingdom Coach Operators Association (UKCOA), the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), the Road Haulage Association (RHA), and RTITB. We're also a recognised provider with the DVSA for delivering Driver CPC training.
No business succeeds in isolation, and such bodies exist to share knowledge, promote best practice, and advance the transport sector. Being part of them demonstrates a real commitment to higher industry standards.
