“I have been in the transport industry for over 40 years, first as a qualified vehicle technician and a driver, then a vehicle inspector, manager, transport manager and auditor. I have carried many engineering investigations, several thousand vehicle inspections, and been involved in compliance auditing since 2000. I have trained technicians to carry out vehicle inspections and compliance audits, trained transport managers and consultants to carry out internal and traffic commissioner audits and written bespoke audits used for quality monitoring and compliance purposes.
I keep up to date with all DVSA requirements and manage several operators as an external Transport Manager, so l know the pressures involved with day to day transport management.
I have managed operators with many problems, and my work has eventually been audited by trade associations, independent auditors and DVSA, all with positive outcomes. I have attended several public inquiries in support and as a witness
I have audited large international operators and self employed owner drivers.
I have always insisted that I am unbiased, with an independent view of an operators compliance and will always advise and ensure safe and legal requirements are being met.
You will always receive an independent evaluation of compliance.”
