Logistics UK Virtual Transport Manager returns in November

Thursday 12 September 2024

Logistics UK’s Transport Manager 2024, sponsored by Brigade Electronics, gets under way on 18 September in Yeovil, with 1,500 delegates already booked onto the conference series and three of the venues full. To enable transport managers across the country to take advantage of the information and guidance, even if they are unable to attend in person, there will once again be a virtual version of Transport Manager, to take place on Friday 29 November 2024.   

Virtual Transport Manager will cater for those who cannot travel to an in-person event, whether due to location, time or business pressures, or who don’t have time for all the sessions in one go. The virtual one-day conference will follow the same format as the in-person events to be held around the country and will provide the information and guidance on legislation which the industry-leading conferences are renowned for.   

Kevin Green, Logistics UK’s Director of Policy, said: “We appreciate some people are unable to attend in person for one reason or another. However, it is still important for transport managers to ensure they keep up to date with the latest regulations and compliance information, so as with the in-person events, Virtual Transport Manager 2024 will provide all the briefing information they need.”

Transport Manager is a recognised Continuing Professional Development (CPD) event, and attendees will receive a certificate evidencing their attendance, whether they attend in-person or virtually. CPD is a term used to describe the learning activities professionals engage in to develop, enhance and maintain their abilities.  

Logistics UK is delighted to have secured the involvement of the Traffic Commissioners for the whole series, both virtual and live, and other sessions will include the Transport Manager calendar, a compliance update, GSR and ADAS systems, the legal responsibilities of a transport manager, revision of the Transport Manager CPC syllabus, transport managers in a connected and autonomous world, driver focus: finding and keeping the best, and a session by the Metropolitan Police on dealing with fatal incidents and collision investigation.

Transport Manager is also supported by bronze sponsors BP, r2c, Weightmans, WTW and a plethora of regional exhibitors. For further information, or to book a place, please visit: https://logistics.org.uk/transport-manager
