Logistics UK announces return of Transport Manager conference series
Logistics UK’s Transport Manager conference series, now in its 23rd year, will return in autumn 2023 with live events at 10 venues around the UK as well as a virtual event.
The conferences, which attracted a record number of over 1,700 delegates last year, provide all the latest information and guidance on industry legislation and other issues affecting operators.
This year’s conferences – sponsored by Brigade Electronics, BP, Weightmans and WTW – will give delegates the chance to hear from their local Traffic Commissioner as well as a range of senior industry figures and policy makers.
Subjects under discussion include: the Direct Vision Standard, load security, alternative fuels and much more. Logistics UK’s experts will also be on hand throughout the day to advise on legislation and compliance issues.
Kate Jennings, Logistics UK’s Director of Policy, said: “Compliance is vital in the logistics industry and our Transport Manager conferences provide operators with the information they need, enabling anyone responsible for running vehicle fleets to remain up to date on the latest guidance, and show their commitment as a transport professional.”

Logistics UK’s Transport Manager conferences offer an important opportunity to stay sighted on the latest legislation, guidance and advice as well as networking with industry peers. The Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain are pleased to support this series of events providing an invaluable contribution to CPD requirements.”
The price to attend for Logistics UK members is £335 plus VAT for the first delegate and £315 plus VAT for subsequent delegates; for non-Logistics UK members the cost is £435 plus VAT for the first delegate and £415 plus VAT for subsequent delegates.

In brief
DVSA update: road to Earned Recognition programme
On 14 June, DVSA announced the road to DVSA Earned Recognition programme trial. New operators which have been issued with a licence in the last six months can join. Being on the programme will help new operators build best practice and good compliance in their business so they can confidently apply for DVSA Earned Recognition status in the future.
New operators will work towards Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are similar to those in the DVSA Earned Recognition scheme. The programme will last for two years, with support and guidance provided by DVSA.
New operators which successfully complete the road to DVSA Earned Recognition programme and pass an audit will achieve DVSA Earned Recognition status.
