Northern Enterprise 2024 / 20 Nov24117 Best HGV/PVC Driver Training Company 2024 – Yorkshire One of the most critical industries upholding the UK’s economy, the transport and logistics sector met with significant challenges in recently years. Spurred by the impacts of Brexit, COVID-19, and an ageing workforce, the UK faces a continuous shortage of qualified HGV and PCV drivers. In these uncertain times, well-established companies such as Premier Fleet Solutions stands out in the market for its provision of top-tier HGV and PCV driver training services. Following the company’s recent recognition in the Northern Enterprise Awards 2024, we speak with its Operations Director, Sarah Martin. Founded in 2005, Premier Fleet Solutions is a respected family business providing driver training for Heavy Goods Vehicles and Passenger Carrying Vehicles, or HGVs and PCVs, Driver CPC courses, as well as risk assessments and training packages for corporate clients. The company prides itself on the first-class service it delivers to its clients, striving to be recognised as the number one training provider in its field. An industry leader, Premier Fleet Solutions is guided by its core values, always aiming to be excellent, trustworthy, approachable, respectful, and professional across its operations. The company is on a mission to deliver professional and enjoyable driver training, personalised to each new driver, providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge to pass their tests with flying colours and develop their confidence. “We are ethical, and always provide a personalised service that delivers exactly what the customer needs, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach” Sarah tells us. “We live and breathe our values, and our customer service is outstanding. We are extremely proud of our five-star reviews, and these demonstrate our commitment to our values.” For its significant contributions towards the future of the transport and logistics sectors, Premier Fleet Solutions has amassed a number of positive testimonials from past clients. The company has become renowned for its stellar solutions, delivering tailored education that successfully prepares drivers for a prosperous future in the industry. “I have been lucky enough to use Premier Fleet Solutions to pass my C+E driving test,” says Sam. “Everyone here plays their own part in your journey, from booking your medical theory right through to your test at the end. They make you feel like you are their only candidate, even though you are not. I cannot recommend Premier Fleet Solutions enough to those who want to take that next step into driving bigger vehicles.” “What a professional outlet,” writes Andrew. “From my first phone call to enquire about training, I had confidence that they knew what they were doing. Information and guidance are key, and they did exactly that. They made sure that I had the relevant information and guided me through the process, from the first lesson to passing my test. I highly recommend Premier Fleet Solutions.” Premier Fleet Solutions is based in Penistone, South Yorkshire. Having operated for two decades, the company has seen significant benefits from being based in the North. “Yorkshire and the Humber has more HGV jobs per 1,000 of the working population than any other region of the UK,” Sarah explains. “This is due to the growing reliance on industries that require road transport, such as manufacturing, textiles, and agriculture. These are all key to the local economy.” This environment creates a favourable outlook for Premier Fleet Solutions, as the demand for skilled HGV drivers increases. Whilst the country faces a shortage of qualified HGV drivers, this region is simultaneously experiencing a stronger demand for the profession, creating elevated career security throughout the North. This prominent imbalance of supply and demand allows Premier Fleet Solutions to take a frontrunning position in the transportation industry, playing a crucial role in supporting the local economy by ensuring a robust pipeline of qualified drivers essential to several key industries. As we progress through the first quarter of 2025, Premier Fleet Solutions aims to continue delivering exceptional solutions, empowering individuals by instilling them with newfound confidence and advancing the operations of numerous industries. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to ensuring that every client is comfortable, confident, and safe during their training journey and beyond. So, what is next for Premier Fleet Solutions? “We remain in a period of growth,” Sarah tells us. “Our turnover has doubled year on year for the last two years, and projections show that this pattern will continue. We are actively working on new tender opportunities and growing the business through our own business development initiatives by reaching out to potential new clients. We are consolidating relationships with new business partners, and always ensuring that we maintain our values as the business continues to grow.” Contact: Sarah Martin Company: Premier Fleet Solutions Web Address: https://premierfleetsolutions.com/
