Hurt Plant Hire are part of the Fox Group specialising in the supply of all aggregates, waste removal, haulage and recycling of building materials throughout the North West. Having successfully obtaining my Manager CPC earlier this year I was promoted to Transport Manager and named on two operating licences, in the Northwest and in Wales. As Transport Manager my main duties are the day to day running of the transport office, compliance for drivers and vehicles. Managing a fleet of 100+ vehicles including road sweepers, grab wagons, low-loader's, hook wagons, 8 wheel tippers and artic tippers. The role varies daily due to the fast pace of the business. Obtaining my FORS Practioners accreditation has helped the business maintain its accreditation and I have also worked to help our sister company obtain their FORS Gold. I am also the sole Transport Manager of CMP in Wales which is a subsidy of Hurt Plant Hire. Managing 15 drivers and vehicles. CMP maintains the same standards set at Hurt plant hire to ensure we are compliant in all aspects of transport.OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES Direct management of 100 + DriversAppointed person of two operating licensesTachograph Analysis and recordsDrivers hoursFuel consumptionNew Driver Inductions and ProcessesRecruitment of new driversFORS Training and CertificationFleet complianceUpdating VOLSRegular checks of OCRS and investigating any negative changes.Maintenance planning and Transport meetingsTraining management on new operating systemsRepresenting the company at industry events

An opportunity arose in the office, and I became the Transport Planner as well as working alongside the Compliance Manager. My responsibilities were varied between planning work and the management of 90 + drivers as well as helping maintain tacho records, driver inductions and helping the company attain its Bronze FORS accreditation through becoming a FORS Practitioner.Throughout, my responsibilities increased with the constant movement in a fast-paced office.My main responsibilities included: Daily planning of 90 + vehiclesDriver inductionsDriver training both class room and on the roadDriver recruitmentTacho infringementsMaintaining Drivers hoursFORS trainingDisciplinariesPerformance reviewsTool box talksConducting drug tests This was my first management role since leaving the Army. I have a strong belief in that giving drivers the right training and guidance they will become long serving employees with a high driving standard making the company a much better place to work. I I have found that giving patience especially with new drivers, be that newly passed drivers or new drivers to the industry is key to their development. The industry has a strong reputation for drivers constantly moving around jobs, however I pride myself on my retention of drivers I have recruited, trained, and developed into good drivers.

I initially joined Hurt Plant Hire as a Class 2 Tipper driver, delivery building materials direct to site throughout the North West. As an experience driver I was also responsible for training new drivers, assess them, and only once I had passed them as competent driver were they allowed to be lone drivers

I was employed as a class 2 bulk tipper driver. The company is responsible for bulk aggregate deliveries in and around the northwest, site to site deliveries of raw materials as well as the movement of heavy plant around the country. My daily routine consists of carrying out my morning daily checks, collecting specific loads of raw material from either quarries or building sites and delivering to various building or landfill sites around the northwest. My work is set out the day before, this can regularly be changed throughout the day so being responsive to change is important. At the end of my shift the wagon is to be refuelled and any deficiencies reported. All paperwork is handed in to the transport planner at the end of my shift
