The role of a transport manager in 2024 workforce: understanding your compliance and law employment responsibilities
In an age of staff shortages, an evolving workforce demographic, ever increasing regulation and rapid technological change, it is more important than ever for transport managers to understand their wider legal responsibilities not just as compliance officers, but as managers in the 2024 workforce. In this thought-provoking talk, Chris Powell, Partner in the Weightmans' transport law team will re-examine the wider role and legal responsibilities of TMs through the prisms of employment law duties.
Revision of the Transport Manager CPC syllabus
With the content of the Transport Manager CPC syllabus dating from 2009, when the regulations were last amended, is it now time for this fundamental qualification to have a refresh? This session will give Transport Managers the opportunity to offer their views on how the content could be changed in the future.

Transport Managers in a connected and autonomous world
As a Bill to regulate the use of autonomous vehicles makes its way through Parliament, the logistics industry must consider how it will operate in an era of connected and potentially driverless vehicles. In this interactive session, Logistics UK will discuss the latest developments in relation to autonomous vehicles, what they could mean for transport operations and the future of the Transport Manager's role.
Compliance sprint: Dangerous Goods
Driver Focus: Finding and keeping the best!
It goes without saying, that drivers are your most valuable assets and without them you are unable to run your operation. This session will look at the following areas to ensure that you get the best and keep the drivers for your operation: recruitment best practice, driver onboarding and induction; setting and embedding the right cultures and behaviours; ensuring effective ongoing training; effective management of health and wellbeing areas; agency relationship management and continuous monitoring and safety improvement. This will be an interactive and fun session with plenty of takeaways to ponder and implement!
