UK Mail As a nationwide provider of mail, parcels, pallets, sameday and retail logistics services, UK Mail has 55 depots and 400 drivers spread around the country. Given the geographical spread of its operations and the fact that many of its drivers are night workers, UK Mail was looking for a nationwide service provider which could offer a bespoke Driver CPC package and deliver it at times to suit the company – which would include training in the evenings. "That quickly narrowed down the options, "says UK Mail's Linehaul Manager, Ian Edmondson. "Although we are a long-standing Scania operator and enjoy a close relationship with the organisation, we did review the market before making our choice. In the end it was a combination of factors – module content adapted to our needs, the ability to provide training at night and Scania's expertise with the vehicles we operate – that won Scania the business. There is also the added bonus that Scania is prepared to bring its training to us whenever we need them to. That means a lot in terms of convenience and helps minimise any disruption to our business."

Knights of Old Limited As one of the UK's leading distribution and logistics specialists, Knights of Old has just over 150 drivers, including day and night workers, located at four depots. "We started our Driver CPC training early on and originally began by outsourcing," says Knight of Old's Driver Trainer and Development Manager, Lee Russell. "But when we became aware that Scania could train me as a Driver CPC trainer and that I would then be able to operate under their JAUPT accreditation, we decided to investigate that option instead. "We quickly realised this would be a far more efficient way for us to operate, both financially and in terms of training provision. The demands of the business mean that driver-movements are often only known a day or two in advance, so we need to be able to schedule training at short notice. An inhouse trainer is therefore the ideal solution for us. "For my part, Scania's train-the-trainer modules, which have Knights of Old-specific detail added to the base product, take two or three days to complete. Thereafter, I am left to adapt the training to my own style and when I feel ready, Scania return and assess me. Once I've been cleared to go, I then start training, with Scania regularly auditing my sessions to ensure standards are being maintained."

Menzies Aviation Limited Menzies Aviation Limited is responsible for providing staff transfers between the car parks and the various places of work at Heathrow Airport. It's a 24/7 merry-go-round operation, employing a total of 120 drivers and a fleet of 36 Scania OmniCity single deck and articulated buses. "We move around 20,000 people a day on short journeys mostly lasting around ten minutes or so," explains the company's Training Officer, Martin Phillips. "Our drivers include full time employees and regularly-employed agency staff. In 2007 we began looking into how best to provide both groups with Driver CPC training. "This included a discussion with Scania, who flagged up the possibility of training me as a trainer. We had been considering setting up as a Driver CPC centre, but it was immediately obvious that the Scania solution was far more cost-effective and would be much more straightforward for us to enact." Today, Menzies Aviation Limited is registered as an external Scania Driver CPC training centre for its own in-house courses. Martin Phillips runs the training and Scania provides the backup and admin support, which includes all driver data uploads to the government's central database and communications with the DVLA. "We offer training to all our drivers, employees and agency staff alike, and pay all the upload and management fees," says Martin Phillips. "The only proviso is that the company stipulates training has to be carried out on one of the driver's rest days. We feel that approach represents commitment
on the part of both parties. The contribution the company makes also discourages drivers from making their own training arrangements, which would be impractical as it could leave us short staffed on occasions. "The whole programme is proving to be a very workable solution which suits everyone's needs as it enables drivers to improve their performance and maintain their licences and the company plan and organise its Driver CPC training in a structured way." Key service features for Menzies Aviation Limited ! External training centre operating under Scania's JAUPT accreditation ! Facilitates training of company employees and agency staff ! Full data management and support service provided by Scania "Is it all worthwhile? Yes – I believe you can always learn and improve" Martin Phillips, Training Officer, Menzies Aviation
