Mercia backed the HGV recruitment platform alongside private investors to support system development and business expansion.

"The recent driver shortage has highlighted the critical role that HGV drivers play in keeping supermarket shelves stocked and the wheels of the industry turning. While conditions are improving and wages have risen, this makes it all the more important that operators cut out unnecessary expenses. Avail enables them to hire drivers at lower cost so more money can into drivers’ pockets."

The combination of established international traction and scalable technology alongside this fresh capital leaves the business in great shape to grow rapidly in the coming years."
