A company you can trust

Mainstream

Group

Nationally accredited, award-winning, with quality and high principles at our core, ‘the driving force for industry’ encapsulates the Mainstream brand which commenced business in 1997. From the early days of just three people, a forklift truck and a single lorry, Mainstream has grown to become a leading national provider of training and recruitment services.

Our team of over 200 includes around 100 highly skilled and experienced instructors covering a diverse range of courses and vocational qualifications. Our modern fleet of training vehicles and plant includes, manual and automatic LGVs, dual-controlled cars, minibuses, lorry mounted cranes and a wide selection of construction and warehouse machinery. If it moves then it’s true to say that we can probably train you to use it!

In addition to our training business we have built a reputation as a trusted staff supply partner to businesses of all sizes, ranging from local hauliers through to national retailers and distributors. Our recruitment agencies supply around 600 temporary drivers and other logistics staff every week.

Following the retirement of our founding directors, Mainstream underwent a successful management buy-out at the end of 2015. The new management team, backed by a group of private investors, have invested over £500k refurbishing the training facilities at Mainstream House and upgrading our fleet of training vehicles. We believe that this substantial investment cements Mainstream’s position as the region’s premier training provider and further demonstrates our commitment to quality and training excellence.

Tackling the skills shortage

It is common knowledge that there is a national shortage of LGV drivers and skilled construction plant operatives, but as one of the largest training companies in the UK, we are uniquely placed to face this challenge head on, helping industry to recruit and train the staff they need.

We train over a thousand new drivers, construction and warehouse staff every year and this coupled with our proactive recruitment programme, including frequent radio and press advertising, ensures that we are able to provide a steady stream of skilled labour to the market. We recognise the importance of attracting new talent to the sector and have been at the forefront of initiatives such as apprenticeships, warehouse-to-wheels, HM Prisons and pathways to employment programmes.
