UK Transport Awards 2026

A comprehensive package of services and digital systems all revolving around managing on-road risk is at the heart of Ignition Risk Management, a Greater Manchester-based company that has been developing cultures of risk awareness across organisations and their people alike since 1991. The encompassing support the company provides across this service suite ranges from practical guidance in developing and implementing work-related road safety procedures through to providing digital systems, licence checks, and driver training. What follows for its clients is a reduction in accident rates, insurance premiums, environmental impact, and more, and with this service being available across fleets of all sizes, discerning businesses of any kind can benefit from these provisions, at a time when they are needed more than ever. Driving this demand is the fact that the transport industry is continuing to embrace modern technology and call for more personalised solutions across the areas of driver risk assessment and training, both of which the team focus on. Commenting on this, Stephen explained: “Off-the-shelf solutions often do not address the risks faced by a company or their drivers, and they are today looking for bespoke solutions which can be easily integrated into their infrastructure.” Ignition Risk Management’s prowess in this space comes from the more than a decade of developing bespoke e-learning solutions on its own platform, or through a client’s LMS systems. Aiding the integration offered is the support it provides across the likes of single sign-on and self-registration. All of the above shows Ignition Risk Management’s ability to help the industry overcome some of the major challenges it is currently facing, chief amongst them being the labour shortage experienced when it comes to drivers. With a number of companies pushing the recruitment of new drivers to appease this, it is vital they are risk assessed and trained to a high standard, and this is where the company’s aforementioned driver training comes in, with courses designed to help improve skill and compliance and reduce risk for drivers. These trainers are all wholly dedicated to transforming attitudes to driving, and are all enrolled on the DVSA Fleet Register with further advanced qualifications. They have more than the necessary qualifications and experience so clients can rest easy knowing that these experts in occupational road risk training will apply their knowledge to make every fleet safer. This devotion, combined with these training courses being delivered in a relaxing and supportive environment, see that the things drivers learn stay with them for as long as they work out on the road. This commitment to safety is a cornerstone of Ignition Risk Management, with another example of its deployment being across the integrated licence checks mentioned above. By automatically checking every aspect of a driver’s history on the road, safety is not only prioritised, but compliance and employee management are both improved. A big part of this can be attributed to the driver risk assessment system the company offers, which is yet another example of the innovative computer systems discussed above. Diving deeper into this, highlights of the system include e-consent – where drivers can electronically sign their DVLA declarations – as well as a driver profile comprising all of the data available from the DVLA and any CPC and tachograph information. The fact that all of this is then stored in a secure and intuitive platform means licence checking is more straightforward than ever, even for large organisations. This is just another way that Ignition Risk Management is making things easier, safer, and better for fleets across the UK. With plans to continue to grow and develop more innovative and integrated services across the realm of risk management for UK vehicle fleets, the future is bright for Ignition Risk Management as it works towards its vision of becoming the UK’s first choice for bespoke fleet risk management services.
