“I was given the opportunity to join our in-house Driver training sponsorship scheme as soon as I joined the company as a loader.  The sign-up process with Insite was straightforward and not daunting at all.  Once I signed up for the scheme I was enrolled quickly and efficiently and had lots of support from the training team throughout my journey to gain an LGV Cat Cat C licence.  The pace of the tuition  was very good ensuring that I understand each step as we went through going into as much depth as it took for me to understand the standard I had to reach in order to gain a successful outcome.  Documents I was provided with were both clear and concise for the exercise being undertaken, which allowed me to gain my LGV licence with only 2 minors points.  Overall a great experience and I do know why I was apprehensive to start off with. ”

Challenge

• HGV vacancies were growing.
• Traditional recruitment paths were failing to yield results.
• Struggling to attract and retain drivers, putting a strain on their operations and affecting their ability to meet their customers’ needs.

• Needed a more cost-effective and efficient way to ensure they had enough drivers to meet demand.
• Lack of suitably qualified resources available to us.
