Forklift Driver salary in East of England

£29,100 – £37,500 (indicative · midpoint £31,750)

How this figure was built. Based on 5 live advertised salaries for this role and region. That is below the 20 we require before publishing 25th/75th percentiles, so this cell shows a median only.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. An in-date accredited ticket (RTITB/ITSSAR) on the right truck type is the whole game: reach and VNA pay above counterbalance, and multi-ticket drivers cover more shifts. Nights and chilled/frozen environments add premiums on top of base.
