Logistics UK Transport Manager Conference Set for Belfast

Logistics UK’s Transport Manager conference series, now in its 23rd year, will return in autumn 2023 with live events at 10 venues around the UK, including Belfast on October 5th, as well as a virtual event.

The conferences, which attracted a record number of over 1,700 delegates last year, provide all the latest information and guidance on industry legislation and other issues affecting operators.

This year’s conferences, sponsored by Brigade Electronics, BP, Weightmans and WTW, will give delegates the chance to hear from their local Traffic Commissioner as well as a range of senior industry figures and policy makers. Subjects under discussion will include the Direct Vision Standard, load security, alternative fuels and much more. Logistics UK’s experts will also be on hand throughout the day to advise on legislation and compliance issues.

Kate Jennings, Logistics UK’s Director of Policy, said: “Compliance is vital in the logistics industry and our Transport Manager conferences provide operators with the information they need, enabling anyone responsible for running vehicle fleets to remain up to date on the latest guidance, and show their commitment as a transport professional.”

Senior Traffic Commissioner, Richard Turfitt, said Taco van der Leij, Vice President of Webfleet Europe at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions. “Trailers are the backbone of long-haul goods transportation but managing a trailer fleet can be challenging. By providing a one-platform-solution for all a transport fleet’s vehicles and trailers, with real-time data insights and actionable intelligence, we are supporting these businesses in their quest to maximise trailer performance, save costs and improve safety and security.” commented: “As transport businesses face the challenges of an ever-changing environment, it is vital that transport managers are equipped for the future. Logistics UK’s Transport Manager conferences offer an important opportunity to stay sighted on the latest legislation, guidance and advice as well as networking with industry peers. The Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain are pleased to support this series of events providing an invaluable contribution to CPD requirements.” The price to attend for Logistics UK members is £335 plus VAT for the first delegate and £315 plus VAT for subsequent delegates; for nonLogistics UK members the cost is £435 plus VAT for the first delegate and £415 plus VAT for subsequent delegates.
