About Us
Direct Driver started in 2018 when our director, Kurtis, began working as a driver-for-hire across industries from food distribution to European events. In 2020, during the pandemic, he bought a small curtain-sider van and began serving local businesses in Huddersfield, the beginning of our growth story.
Today, we’ve grown into a 24/7 transport company with a fleet of eight vehicles, supported by a dedicated team of drivers and office staff. We continually reinvest in our vehicles, equipment, and people, keeping the same values we started with: reliable service, fair rates, and lasting customer relationships.
Whether it’s a single box or a full artic load, we have the experience, resources, and commitment to deliver.
After redundancy and with a baby on the way, Kurtis takes control of his future, starting out as a one-man-band "driver for hire." With a single van and a strong work ethic, Direct Driver Ltd is born.
When COVID-19 halts the events industry, the business pivots. Using a Bounce Back loan, Kurtis invests in a 3.5t Iveco van and rebuilds from the ground up, networking with local businesses and creating lasting partnerships across Huddersfield.
Growth accelerates. Direct Driver secures its Operator's License, adds an 18t DAF rigid and begins taking on larger commercial contracts. The team expands and so does the reputation for reliability and professionalism.
Operating a fleet of eight vehicles and employing nine full-time staff, the company continues to grow. Direct Driver achieves FORS Bronze accreditation and is featured in FORSight Magazine, and sets its sights on Silver and Gold accreditation.
With plans for fleet expansion including a 26t vehicle, warehousing and new facilities, Direct Driver remains committed to flexibility, professionalism and continuous improvement, raising the bar for regional haulage.
Featured in FORSight Magazine

One line from the feature particularly stood out: “The business is poised for long-term growth.” It perfectly reflects our vision to continue expanding and one day become one of the leading hauliers in Yorkshire, and even the country…
