CPT and C9 Recruitment agree staffing commercial partnership

The Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) has announced a commercial partnership with C9 Recruitment to support operator members in their workforce needs.

Under the collaboration, CPT members can take advantage of an exclusive 10% discount (subject to terms) on C9 Recruitment’s service to help ease staffing pressures. That covers a range of specialist recruitment support, from fully vetted drivers to skilled engineers and back-office staff.

CPT notes that the commercial partnership with C9 forms part of the Confederation’s “ongoing commitment to supporting its members with practical, cost-saving solutions at a time of continued labour market challenges.”

On the coach and bus staffing services offered by C9, the supplier says that its drivers are ready to keep fleets moving, with a comprehensive vetting process and compliance with all industry requirements.

Engineering personnel are experienced and qualified to ensure vehicle safety and reliability, while back-office support staff range from compliance officers to operations managers who provide essential behind-the-scenes expertise, the business continues.

Speaking about the partnership, CPT Membership Engagement Manager Quaid Martin-Laumatia says: “This new offer from C9 Recruitment gives our members access to a trusted recruitment partner with specialist expertise in the coach and bus sector.

“We know that sourcing and retaining skilled staff remains a major challenge, and we are pleased to support members with a practical solution that delivers both quality and value.”

Adds C9 Recruitment Commercial Director Daniel Lunn (pictured, right): “We are proud to partner with the Confederation of Passenger Transport to offer this exclusive benefit to CPT members.

“At C9 Recruitment, our mission is simple: to keep operators moving by providing skilled, fully compliant staff when they are needed most. We understand the pressure the industry is facing, and this partnership allows us to deliver even greater value and support to operators across the UK.”

CPT members can claim the 10% discount (subject to terms) by quoting ‘CPT10’ when engaging C9 Recruitment. It is valid for 90 days from the start of the client relationship. After that, standard rates apply.
