You may well be aware that the government has announced upcoming changes to the Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) training for HGV drivers.
The MD of the biggest HGV Training company in the UK, Driver Hire, has provided the following commentary about the news.
John Keelan Edwards, MD of Driver Hire Training, says:
“We are firm believers that Driver CPC is a good thing, for people in logistics and for the wider public. So the news that the Government is planning to maintain and enhance Driver CPC will be good for the industry, as the changes will make it a more flexible, accessible qualification. The changes will make it easier for former drivers to get back into driving professionally and easier for current drivers to renew training.”
“The updates will also make sure those considering a career in logistics know that there is a pathway for them, and there is ongoing investment in personal development.”
“The fact that it will now be possible to do modules non-consecutively makes Driver CPC more flexible for drivers, with 3.5 hours of learning a good way to keep people engaged with the training. Whilst no timescales have yet been announced, Driver Hire are ready for the new model, as we already have a set of 20+ 3.5hr modules covering a wide range of topics.”

In addition, he provides the tracking information when available, along with the POD when the delivery had been made, allowing me to keep my own customer informed.read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul at Intfreight and I must say every time we use...this service it is outstanding from start to finish.
From the moment I contacted their team, they were incredibly professional, responsive, and thorough in understanding my shipping needs. They offered competitive rates and went above and beyond to accommodate my specific requirements, ensuring that the process was seamless and stress-free.
The communication throughout was top-notch. I was kept informed at every stage, from the collection of the goods to tracking the shipment in real time, which gave me complete peace of mind. Their team was always available to answer any questions, making the entire experience feel personal and attentive.
On top of that, the handling of my items was impeccable. Everything arrived in perfect condition and on time, even though the shipment involved international transport with several stops. It was clear that Intfreight prioritizes both efficiency and care in their operations.
I highly recommend Intfreight to anyone in need of reliable, professional freight services. Their combination of excellent customer service, timely deliveries, and careful handling makes them a standout in the industry.read more

It was sheer grit on part of IFS agent John Collumbine to get my stuff delivered from UK to India when FedEx messed up the consignment value and...charged warehouse charges for the delay.
John (IFS) went out of his way and took it up with FedEx and made them pay for all the extra charges amounting to around 500 GBP.
I am extremely happy with the company's service and the work ethics of its employees. I will highly recommend IFS to anyone who wants to see their task done through in face of a few glitches that might occur over international transactions due to handling by different people at multiple levels.read more
