Why Businesses Are Rethinking Driver Training and Choosing UK HGV PRO

June 16, 2025

In today’s logistics, the pressure is relentless: delivery expectations are tighter, margins are slimmer, and skilled drivers are harder to find than ever. And yet, training, the one thing that can solve all three, is often inconsistent, fragmented, or overly complex for businesses to manage.                              

That’s where UK HGV PRO comes in.    

Designed exclusively for employers, UK HGV PRO offers a smarter, fully managed approach to driver training. We simplify everything, from Category C+E upgrades and CPC compliance to onboarding new license holders, all with a single point of contact and nationwide reach.    

But this isn’t just a convenience. It’s a competitive edge.    

The Numbers Behind the Need    

· Over 50,000 driver vacancies were reported in UK logistics as recently as last year (Logistics UK, 2024).    

· 70% of logistics businesses cite delays in driver recruitment as a barrier to growth.    

· £4,500+ — the average cost to recruit and onboard a new HGV driver.    

Firms using structured training pipelines see 2.4x higher retention among new drivers.    

In short, without a training partner, you’re losing time, money, and talent. What Makes UK HGV PRO Different?
