NAS Recruitment Services

What NAS Recruitment Services does

NAS Group (legally NAS Group Durham Limited) is a privately-held UK transport and logistics staffing and managed-transport services company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, North East England. The firm operates a dual-service model under the NAS Recruitment Services brand: a Recruitment line that supplies temporary and permanent LGV and non-LGV drivers plus office-based logistics personnel (transport managers, traffic planners) to distribution firms, and a Transport line that supplies both drivers and vehicles ranging from 3.5 tonnes to 44 tonnes for store, home, and parcel delivery operations including time-critical, nationwide multi-drop, and day/night trunking services.

The company holds operators' licences in all UK traffic areas and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from its Durham head office plus remote operating locations throughout the UK. Its core customers are enterprise-level — major UK supermarket chains, multinational logistics and distribution firms, parcel carriers including Global Express, and major white goods suppliers using two-man home delivery crews — with a secondary SME book near Durham. NAS is a corporate member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and the Road Haulage Association (RHA), and runs an 11-category driver job board on its WordPress-based website as the primary digital channel.

Revenue is generated through placement fees and/or mark-ups on driver wages for the recruitment stream, and through transport service fees for the managed-transport stream, on a quote-based pricing model sold predominantly via direct B2B sales. No proprietary technology platform, API, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The company has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, or senior leadership changes, and operates with a lean internal headcount of approximately 5 employees.
