Hi ChiplinerI think the driver would cost more IMHO.
You’ve got the salary for the driver, plus employer’s NI, plus insurance plus cover for sickness, holiday etc.
Like you already suggested, it’s looking more and more like a bargain TBH
Driver salary +15% is what its going to cost you minimum.
Youll struggle massively for adr insurance with no history.
Dgsa is still needed for restricted o holders i believe, plus someone competent is needed to be TM. Thats more monies.
Driver and fuel is going to be the best part of 70k so it looks like your getting a good deal tbh.
