Entries now open for FTA competition to find Transport Manager of the Year 2020

The competition is open to both members and non-members of FTA and will see participants undertake a series of role-relevant challenges in order to test their knowledge and skills against their peers.

To enter the competition, applicants must hold a valid Certificate of Professional Competence in Road Haulage (national or international) or equivalent. Candidates must also be either currently named as an internal transport manager on a standard national or international goods vehicle operator licence or employed by a restricted operator licence holder to conduct a role equivalent to transport manager. Consultant or external transport managers are not eligible to enter. Entries will close on 19 March and the 50 finalists, selected from all entries received, will take part in a day of competition at the UK head office of event supporters DAF Trucks in Haddenham on 24 April.

All participants will then be hosted at a ceremony and lunch on 6 May where the competition’s winners will be announced, including the overall FTA Transport Manager of the Year. FTA’s Young Transport Manager of the Year will also be named at the event, acknowledging the brightest rising stars within the logistics sector.

“A successful transport manager needs a multitude of skills and a wealth of industry knowledge,” said FTA’s Director of Policy, Elizabeth de Jong. “It is a responsible, challenging but rewarding role, and the very best transport managers must be competent at vehicle maintenance, driver management, possess complete knowledge of compliance requirements and ensure that their own CPD is maintained to the highest standard – all whilst delivering for their customers, the key priority for all logistics businesses.”
