Kemp began its journey back in 2010, when Mark Kemp established the business. At this point, Mark had already garnered many years of experience within commercial vehicle recruitment.
Over a decade later and Kemp has grown considerably, with over 40 staff currently – and a view to doubling that next year. Quite a mean feat, considering most recruitment agencies never grow beyond ten members of staff!
At Kemp, our aim is simple: to be known as the UK’s leading commercial vehicle recruitment company.
In the beginning Kemp Recruitment specialised in two main areas: HGV mechanics, engineers and technicians and Bus & Coach drivers.
Since those days over a decade ago the portfolio of Kemp Recruitment has vastly expanded. We now have a dedicated specialist team of commercial vehicle professionals with expertise now covering a whole variety of niche commercial vehicle related industries and sectors.
We’re here to accelerate you, your business, and the industry.

Our aim is simple
We aim to be known as the UK’s leading commercial vehicle recruitment company. How do we achieve this? By simply committing to being exceptional – for both clients and candidates.
We achieve this not by offering a passive service, but as active partners, invested in a company’s business – or an individual’s personal – success and growth. And that’s in everything we do, every step of the way.
We provide a tailored solution and consultancy service to each unique client, with our extensive experience. Each member of our team is driven to place the best people in the right permanent and temporary roles.
Thank you Haydon Rickets for putting forward for a new role which I am starting straight away and before Christmas. Perfect communication throughout. I highly recommend Kemp recruitment.

What an amazing recruiter Mathew is. Within 10 minutes of a customer informing him of an open position he called me to see if I was interested. 5 minutes after that the interview was set for 1530 the same day. He gave me a quick interview prep to boost my confidence and off I went. The following morning at 0905 Mathew called me and said there is a job offer incoming. All signed sealed and delivered before lunch. Mathew is a credit to your company and i think should get a bonus for being so professional and efficient at making the right people find the right job. Thank you

I initially dealt with Haydon Ricketts and I also had dealings with Matt Gilham. They were both absolutely fantastic. They made the whole process smooth and easy. Haydon kept me up to date during my interview process and was quick to inform me I had been successful. I cannot express how great they have both been. They are an absolute credit to your company. Many thank, Sarah.
