HGVC Expands: £10 Million Investment in New Training Centres

A top UK Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) training provider HGVC is pumping £10m into a network of United Kingdom (UK) training centres. This investment will go the distance to help fix the acute shortage of HGV drivers and will help to raise safety standards and consolidate the company’s position at the top end of its sector.

The expansion plan also includes opening eight new hgv training centres by early 2025, besides several training and testing facilities. It is intended to assist aspirational HGV drivers to get on the road with the necessary infrastructure to meet the demand for trained drivers and raise new standards in safety and training excellence. Those associated with the logistics industry will certainly have an easier life. 

Leadership in Action

With a persistent driver shortage plaguing the UK, HGVC is positioning itself as a leader that walks the talk. The company has always understood the business challenges of the HGV sector and has actively brought solutions that not only solve current problems but also anticipate future industry needs. In an industry where logistics and transportation are under intense pressure, HGVC’s expansion comes at a time when it is determined to solve the ongoing driver shortage crisis.

Gary B, CEO of HGVC says, “As industry leaders, we recognise the importance of ensuring that there is a plentiful supply of well trained, safety conscious HGV drivers in the UK.” This £10 million investment shows our determination to resolve this problem for businesses across the UK and also enables us to establish new standards in driver training and ultimately to build a safer and more efficient workforce for the entire logistics sector,” he enthusiastically adds.

Safety and Excellence

The new facilities of HGVC will have advanced technology and resources to enhance training outcomes and enhance safety standards. With top-tier training to make drivers road-ready, these centres will cater to rising demands. HGVC’s investment in this demonstrates its commitment to quality, expanding its curriculum with hands-on training and state-of-the art simulations, continuing to be a leader in HGV instruction, and improving sector safety and efficiency.

Solving problems for the entire sector

The £10 million HGVC investment is a quantum leap forward not only for the company but for the UK HGV sector. HGVC looks to address and resolve the ongoing challenges in recruiting qualified drivers for the logistics and supply chain industries by improving the efficiency of the industry. It is a proactive strategy—responding to immediate needs rather than reacting to them. This will create sustainability for the HGV workforce in the long term so as to maintain a robust and capable sector to respond to future demands. This approach represents HGVC’s dedication to propel the industry to a more stable and prosperous future.
