Now that I work as an HGV driver for you, I can truly appreciate your professionalism and the accuracy of the information you provided throughout the entire process.

In the past, my experience with other agencies was inconsistent, but with your company and our first conversation about the position at Best Foods Taunton, everything was spot-on. It has been a pleasure to gain employment through such a professional company like yours. Your expertise, professionalism, and enthusiasm make you a valuable asset to the company, and the communication has always been fantastic.

Thank you again for your ongoing support, and I wish you all the best for the future.

Gerald Baxter | HGV Driver, Best Foods Taunton

As a HGV class 1 driver with over 30 years of experience, I find Aligra’s approachability, friendliness, confidence, and deep knowledge of the driving trade to be very reassuring. They are conscientious and passionate about their role, dedicated to the employees they coordinate for the agency.

They truly go above and beyond to ensure that I have work, and from the agency’s perspective, they proactively reach out with calls and messages about available driving shifts to meet their customers’ needs.

I believe a good working relationship based on trust is important, and I feel that my contact at Aligra shares this sentiment through their character and manner.
