MKM Building Supplies Partners with HGVC and Govt Skills Bootcamp to train 54 Drivers - Builders’ merchants upskill existing staff members to support continued growth - Training part funded by DfE as part of Government’s Skills Bootcamps in HGV Driving HGV driver training specialist HGVC has been appointed by leading builders’ merchant MKM Building Supplies to train 54 drivers under the Government’s Skills Bootcamps in HGV Driving. Under the contract, HGVC is delivering funded courses, with the Department for Education (DfE) providing a 70% contribution towards the cost of training, with MKM covering the remainder.  MKM Building Supplies is the UK's largest independent builders’ merchants and is continuing to expand across the UK, reporting a 13% increase in annual revenue last year. The business wanted to upskill existing members of staff to meet growing customer demand and support continued business growth. MKM opted to outsource the training to HGVC, for a fully managed service making use of the HGV Skills Bootcamp funding available from the UK Government. HGVC was able to immediately onboard and book drivers for every element of licence acquisition, make use of government funding and offer training in locations across the UK. James Clifford, CEO of HGVC, said: “Many UK firms that rely on drivers need to ability to ramp up their training capacity quickly in response to business growth. The Government’s Skills Bootcamps allows businesses across any sector to do just that, and we’re delighted to be working with MKM Building Supplies in this programme. #MKMBuildingSupplies https://lnkd.in/eSu33rCu

Many assume fleet drivers are well-trained but that’s not always the case. About 15.5 million non-CDL drivers who may not consider themselves fleet or professional drivers are required to drive for work. Many may lack formal training. To address this alarming training gap, we developed Fleet Essentials, a series of new short online courses you can use, as a package or individually, to educate fleet drivers and ensure they make it home safely to loved ones each day. #SafetyIsPersonal #SafetyForEveryone Learn more about our new training program and prioritize #RoadwaySafety to keep your workers safe on and off the job: https://lnkd.in/ezPnRG2x.

🚛 Always Learning 🚛 Catching up with our exceptional Driving Trainer, Mark. He's truly one of a kind, with unparalleled knowledge. Working with him is a stroke of luck. Ever spoken to someone who explains things so well that even driving a HGV seems manageable? That's Mark for you. But let's address a pressing issue - the state of some HGV drivers on the road is alarming. Just yesterday, I had two near misses while driving to our Wigan head office. Despite being clearly visible in their mirrors, and not in any blind spots - which I now know for a fact after my lesson in a HGV myself - these drivers still nearly took me out. Frankly, I'd like to keep my life intact. That's why it's crucial to know who you're partnering with. You're entrusting these agencies and individuals with precious cargo, your reputation, and the lives of others on the road. This underscores the importance of working with reputable companies that invest in their staff, including temporary workers. Make sure your agency providers aren't just on a road to nowhere, with not a care in this world of who they put in your driving seats. I chose Challenge because they genuinely care. The passion for the brand and its mission is honourable. We aim to support those who see transport as a career path, partnering with the government on funded contracts for training programs like HGV boot camps and many more valuable training courses....all for FREE! But what really sets us apart is our commitment to supporting language learning, recognising that fluency doesn't determine skill or worth. Challenge offers pre-employment English courses, a rarity I am sure in this industry. There are many perks to working with Challenge-trg Group, which leads to high retention rates and means we have the capability to support businesses of all sizes. To clients overwhelmed by countless agencies, I urge you to consider what sets them apart. Ask about their support for overlooked individuals and their approach to employee treatment. Working with us means partnering with a company that truly cares and upholds integrity. So, if you care about your cargo, your reputation, your time, and, more importantly, the lives on the road, reach out to me today. 🤙🏼 07387 544830 📧 alice.lamb@challengetrg.co.uk #HGVDrivers #recruitmentagencies #integrity

At Parkhouse Bell we are supporting clients across a number of industries that are going through significant reform, and the VET sector is no different.

Having effective training that equips staff with the right knowledge and skillsets is the foundation of every safe work practice. This is the premise of HVIA’s ‘Safety Through Education’ project, funded by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the Australian Government. The project has delivered two comprehensive online training courses covering best practice for two safety critical areas for heavy vehicle operations – load restraint and tyre management. The aim was to transform the volumes of written guidance information into an accessible, immersive, and practical online format. While good quality information is readily available, it is often widely scattered, which leads to knowledge gaps in the industry. This edition of ‘The Tech’s Files’ unpacks each of the two new training courses, explains their relevance under Chain of Responsibility, and highlights the safety case for getting it right. https://lnkd.in/gMw8S2q7
