In 2025, the UK job market is shifting – and fast. With the rising cost of living and growing uncertainty in industries like retail, hospitality and even tech, more people are looking for long-term stability and better pay. One career path that’s quickly gaining attention is, in fact, HGV driving.
If you’re feeling stuck in your current job or considering a fresh start, now might be the perfect time to take to the wheel—literally.
A Boom in Demand
Here at Surecall Driver Training School, we’ve seen a huge rise in people retraining in HGV driving. And it’s no surprise. Logistics firms across the UK are crying out for drivers, with salaries starting from £35,000 and rising to £50,000+. The reason? Nearly half of all current HGV drivers are over 50, and many are retiring. That leaves a huge gap in the workforce.
Even with a 13% increase in new HGV drivers in 2024, the demand still outweighs supply. That makes HGV driving one of the most in-demand, future-proof careers available right now.
Real People, Real Change
People from all backgrounds are stepping into the cab. We’ve trained everyone from ex-hospitality staff and retail workers to office professionals and IT specialists. Many are making the switch for job security, flexibility and the potential to earn more without years of study or debt.
As our Manager, Chris Brady, puts it: “This isn’t just a job – it’s a career with long-term opportunity. We help people build a stable future in just a matter of weeks.”
