The Freight Transport Association (FTA) Ireland has limited places available at its annual transport manager seminar which is being held on March 6 at Johnstown House Hotel & Spa, Enfield, County Meath.

The seminar, which is being sponsored by Blue Tree Systems, Goodyear, RSA Insurance and Volvo, is aimed at keeping delegates up to speed with compliance developments in Ireland.
