The man to take them past this industry milestone was Geoffrey Frost, a category C driver who works for Easypack Haylage Ltd, a supplier of quality nutrition products used in the equine world.
To ensure his driving team completed their required 35 hours of Driver CPC training by the 2014 deadline, Easypack boss Geoff Batchelor used courses provided by Driver Hire’s Gatwick office. “We have four drivers (including myself) who require ongoing Driver CPC training,” Mr Batchelor said. “We trained with Driver Hire over a period of months and found it to be both professional and well-presented. We’re now into our second five year cycle, all of which we’re planning to do with Driver Hire.”
As well as its classroom-based Driver CPC training, Driver Hire Training provides online training. Courses include fuel efficient driving and the daily walk round check. It also provides information and training materials to assist both employers and employees deepen their understanding of EU Drivers Hours, Working Time Regulations and other key industry legislation.
