Investment level
The licence agreement is awarded on a five-year rolling basis and costs £9,950 plus VAT (payable on commencement). ASSI Transport UK's ethos is very much to 'reat others as you would expect to be treated yourself'. This applies to all ASSI Transport UK dealings, whether it is with staff, licensees, customers or suppliers.
The company is committed to putting in place the tools and infrastructure to enable people to achieve their personal, and the company's, goals.
In determining whether a candidate is suitable to be awarded a licence, ASSI Transport UK considers a wide range of issues. Candidates do not need to meet every requirement, although a lack of finance, lack of numeracy or a poor driving or criminal record will be deal breakers.
Ideal candidates will have sales experience, good people skills, enthusiasm, be hard working, take pride in every aspect of their work, be diligent and pay attention to detail at all times.
Licences are available throughout the UK.
