Meet the Team


Chris Bryant
Chris has worked in and around driver recruitment and logistics for 30 years, the majority of which was spent with the second biggest temporary recruiter worldwide and the market leader in driver recruitment in the UK.
Chris joined as a Consultant in the Southampton branch and worked in every role between ending up as Managing Director of the driving division.
Following that Chris started up the temporary and permanent staffing arm of a driver training business before moving on to work with a serial recruitment entrepreneur to start up a temporary driving business.
Prior to founding HGMS Chris’ most recent role saw him head up another temporary driving business, which he joined five years after start-up by the owner founders and grew the business from £8M turnover to £50M turnover.
Chris is in the unique position of having worked in both the corporate side of temporary driver recruitment and the start-up (retail) side. This means that Chris is equally comfortable presenting at board level and liaising with Transport Managers and drivers.
