With over 25 years of experience in the transport and logistics industry, I can offer complete peace of mind that your company’s compliance is in safe hands.
I hold a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) for both National and International Transport Operations, alongside extensive industry experience in senior management roles. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable knowledge and training while working with some of the industry’s biggest names, operating at some of the largest and most challenging distribution centres in the country.
I have previously worked with customers including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Great Bear, among many others. During this time, I developed extensive expertise in transport operations, fleet management, and regulatory compliance.
Over the years, I have held managerial positions with some of the country’s largest fleet operators, where I was responsible for ensuring the legal compliance of hundreds of vehicles at any one time. I have also worked as a Transport Manager for 12 years in general haulage, overseeing fleets involved in the transportation of palletised goods, timber, waste, and container freight.
This breadth of experience provides me with not only a thorough understanding of transport legislation and compliance requirements, but also practical, hands-on industry knowledge gained through decades of real-world operational management.
Throughout my career, I have successfully secured and implemented 14 Operator Licences for a wide range of companies. Every application has presented its own unique challenges, from differing financial positions and information availability to varying fleet requirements and timescales.
When applying to the Traffic Commissioner for an Operator Licence, experience is invaluable. Having navigated numerous applications, I understand the complexities of the process and the importance of getting it right the first time. Even minor delays can have a significant impact on your business operations, which is why I work proactively to ensure a smooth, efficient, and successful application process.
With over 20 years of experience in the transport industry, I have built and maintained a strong reputation with the Traffic Commissioners' Office, demonstrating the highest standards of professionalism and compliance throughout my career.
I have successfully managed and passed multiple DVSA Compliance Audits on behalf of a wide range of operators. My experience includes dealing directly with roadside prohibitions (PG9s), vehicle stoppages, compliance investigations, and DVSA procedural audit requests. I have a proven track record of helping operators address compliance concerns, implement corrective actions, and achieve lasting improvements.
My record is exemplary, including the successful turnaround of businesses that were experiencing serious compliance challenges. As your nominated Transport Manager, I will place my name on your Operator Licence and ensure that all policies, procedures, and legal obligations are followed meticulously. I will also provide the necessary training and guidance to you and your team, helping to create a culture of compliance throughout your operation.
I can work on-site when required, providing a hands-on approach to training, support, and operational oversight. Alternatively, I can work remotely, discreetly supporting your business in the background while ensuring that compliance standards are maintained and your operation continues to run smoothly and efficiently.
Sometimes your business already has strong compliance processes in place but could benefit from a little extra external support. That's where our Tachograph Analysis service can help.
We offer a dedicated tachograph analysis solution that frees up valuable time for your team while ensuring compliance remains a priority. We can provide weekly, monthly, or quarterly reports, highlighting key issues such as driver infringements, Working Time Directive (WTD) breaches, missing vehicle mileage, and recurring driver compliance concerns.
By managing the infringement analysis process for you, we can also implement remote document signing for drivers, ensuring all infringements are received, acknowledged, and signed promptly, creating a clear audit trail and reducing administrative burden.
In addition, we offer both group training sessions and one-to-one coaching for drivers who may be struggling to understand the regulations. We can also provide clear written guidance and supporting materials for drivers to take away, helping them improve their understanding and maintain compliance on an ongoing basis.
We offer a range of Transport Auditing services tailored to your company's specific needs. Whether you require a high-level review of existing procedures, a targeted assessment of particular compliance concerns, or a comprehensive audit of all operational policies and processes, we can provide a solution that meets your requirements.
Our team of experienced transport compliance professionals brings extensive industry knowledge and specialist expertise across all areas of transport operations. We provide forensic tachograph analysis, comprehensive administrative support for the development and review of policies, procedures, Safe Systems of Work (SSOW), Risk Assessments, and Standard Safe Operating Procedures (SSOPs).
In addition, we carry out hands-on Vehicle Maintenance Unit (VMU) and maintenance inspections, including random vehicle checks designed to identify maintenance shortcomings and areas for improvement.
We have a proven track record of identifying gaps in compliance processes and implementing effective corrective measures, including the development of new procedures and SSOPs to strengthen operational controls and ensure ongoing compliance.
Following every audit, you will receive a detailed written report outlining our findings, recommendations, and any remedial actions implemented. This documentation can be presented to the Traffic Commissioner, if required, as evidence of your organisation's proactive approach to compliance and continuous improvement.
