Having a background in Technical Theatre and Secondary Education if you would have asked me 20 years ago; do I envisage running a Domestic Haulage business? I would have thought you were mad. After leaving the Education Sector I moved onto a job in Freight Forwarding in our sister company. I worked specifically on the Iberian department dealing mainly with Andorra, Gibraltar, Madrid and Barcelona.
It’s now 20 years later and I am happy to be leading Ital Transport UK Ltd, a unique domestic haulage company that specialises in the transport of Dangerous Goods. As part of my leadership vision, I feel that it is important that management should have first-hand knowledge of the job. Therefore I, as well as being a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA), have also completed my driver training and ADR driver training. If you’re very lucky you could quite likely see me out and about on the road leading by example. Building on my previous knowledge and skills from the education sector I offer onsite training to all employees from the ‘Ital Group’ on varying subjects; from driver’s hours and compliance, through to Dangerous Goods awareness training. I also provide Dangerous Goods consultancy services to our customer base.
We have a happy, experienced and dedicated team of drivers and office staff who truly are professionals within the industry. Outside of the office in my ‘spare time’ I am a magistrate, a Scout
Leader and a keen fell walker and can often be found on wet and windy hills in the Lake district.
