10 jobs in 1: The legal responsibilities of a Transport Manager in 2024 

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 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.

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.
