lgv driver

COULD YOU BE THE NEXT LGV DRIVER OF THE YEAR?
LGV drivers are the face of our industry. Their actions shape the image and reputation of their employer and the industry as a whole. It’s a demanding role with long hours, and it’s almost all conducted in the public eye, which is why drivers representing their employer and industry with the utmost professionalism deserve an award of their own.
If you can demonstrate skill, accuracy and professionalism to a high standard, then it’s time to enter yourself or a colleague!
