Logistics UK launches new compliance training hub
To help operators streamline the coordination of training plans across their teams, Logistics UK has launched a new “one-stop” booking site for its industry-leading virtual and in-person training courses.
The new website provides access to an extensive range of training courses tailored to support every aspect of the logistics industry, including essential mandatory training, Transport Manager CPC and Driver CPC.
Investing in training and development is critical for motivating and upskilling transport professionals and, according to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning and Development Report, 94% of employees say they would stay longer with a company if it invested in their career development.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) estimates the cost of replacing an employee is six to nine months of their salary, so a structured training and development programme is an essential tool to aid staff retention and deliver tangible business benefits.
Logistics UK delivers training to 35,000 delegates every year, providing a diverse range of courses to meet specific needs whatever the role – driver, manager, engineer, planner or director.
The training is delivered through face-to-face classroom sessions held at various locations nationwide or via an online portal. The new booking hub shows real-time course availability and allows multiple courses and candidates to be booked in one go.
Courses can also be paid for online instantly, streamlining the booking process even further.
Kevin Green, Director of Policy and Communications at Logistics UK said, “Our commitment to delivering industry-leading multimodal training remains unchallenged across the sector and is a demonstration of how we are achieving our mission to support, shape, and stand-up for safe and efficient logistics.
Training has demonstrable benefits for business as well as individuals and in addition to providing access to mandatory industry training, our new booking hub also offers professional development courses, making it easier for logistics businesses to upskill their workforce and remain compliant.”
Logistics UK also offers in-company training, tailored to organisations’ specific requirements which is a time-efficient, cost-effective way to upskill entire transport teams.
The training courses are available to everyone across the industry, with Logistics UK members receiving significant savings on the cost of training. Visit the website to see the courses available and see how they can elevate the skills in your business.

The UK startup developing quasi-solid state sodium EV batteries
TaiSan is a UK battery startup that has developed a breakthrough quasi-solid state sodium tech battery. The adoption of sodium-ion chemistry is widely regarded as one of the next major battery electric vehicle (BEV) shifts.
The company recently raised £1.3 million investment for the project which will enable Taisa to rapidly progress its quasi-solid-state sodium battery technology, offering significant cost, sustainability and safety benefits compared to lithium-ion.
TaiSan CEO, Sanzhar Taizhan says: “The technology is also based on sustainable and abundant materials. No lithium, nickel, cobalt or copper metals are used. "Our IP is designed as a ‘drop-in’ solution to existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities to scale faster with a lower barrier to the market," he explains.
Launched in 2022 with the objective of realising an industry disrupting increase in the energy density of sodium batteries for BEVs, TaiSan has developed its own proprietary, innovative electrolyte and anode materials.
TaiSan technology is based on sustainable and abundant, environmentally friendly materials across the board (i.e. no lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper metals are used).
