Lloyd Morgan Group: why whole-team training is no longer optional

By Categories: Commercial NewsPublished On: Wednesday 2 July 2025

Transport compliance specialist Lloyd Morgan Group has outlined its perspective on the importance for fleets of implementing a whole-team training strategy in order to successfully future-proof.

“The transport sector is changing at pace,” said the firm.

“Between tightening legislation, rapid technological advances, and increasing commercial pressures, operators are expected to run tighter, safer, and more compliant operations than ever before. And in this environment, one thing is clear: if your people aren’t properly trained, your operation is at risk.”

It’s a common misconception that transport training begins and ends with the driver, says the company.

“While drivers are a key part of your operation, the real power lies in a joined-up training strategy that encompasses everyone – from operations managers and transport supervisors to engineering teams and compliance staff.

“At Lloyd Morgan Group (LMG), we see this every day. The operators that are thriving aren’t just investing in Driver CPCs and walk-round check refreshers – they’re building confident, competent teams across every department.”

When a business underinvests in training, says LMG, gaps start to appear.

“Misunderstandings around maintenance scheduling, missed record-keeping protocols, poor communication between departments – these aren’t just admin headaches. They can lead to regulatory breaches, lost revenue, prohibitions, or even the loss of your operator’s licence.

“A well-trained team, on the other hand, understands the interconnected nature of the operation – and how their role contributes to the overall safety, compliance, and efficiency of the business.

“At LMG, we help operators embed this mindset through targeted, practical training that supports the full operation. Whether it’s Transport Manager CPC, refresher training, operator licence awareness training (OLAT), engineering compliance training or vehicle inspection awareness, we tailor content to your business, your people, and your fleet.

“Our team doesn’t just train – they consult, advise and deliver based on what’s happening on the ground. We don’t believe in training for training’s sake. We believe in building capability where it matters…

“DVSA scrutiny has never been higher. Traffic commissioners are clear: operators must be able to demonstrate effective management control, proactive systems, and a culture of safety. Training plays a central role in this – and it’s no longer just a nice-to-have.

“Regular training refreshers for your engineering teams, process training for admin and compliance teams, and leadership support for operational managers – all these elements feed into your ability to operate safely and legally.

“The benefit? Fewer prohibitions. More robust audits. Lower staff turnover. And peace of mind that your operation is well prepared for what’s ahead.”

LMG says its customers can benefit from consistency across every aspect of their operation.

“Whether training is delivered on-site, virtually or at our training centres, we tailor our sessions to your policies, your systems, and your operational challenges.

“We understand that time is money – so we make sure our training is efficient, relevant, and immediately applicable.”
