With an estimated shortage of around 90,000 HGV drivers in the UK - the skills needs to keep road freight moving are in huge demand.
The loss of European drivers through Brexit, Covid-related postponement of Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) testing, also known as Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) and changes to taxation regulations has resulted in the shortfall.
Add into that suggestions that nearly a quarter of lorry drivers expect to leave the industry in the next three years and the need to train and retain new drivers is a top priority.
