TRG Logistics has announced the appointment of Sam Weller as training manager within the distribution arm of the company.

In this newly created role, Weller will be responsible for the management of all Driver CPC planning, training standards, and the commercial delivery to all external and internal clients, reporting directly to TRG's logistics director (distribution), Andy Frost.

Prior to joining TRG, Weller has had experience in the planning and implementation of all driver licence acquisition in both non-vocational and vocational categories, along with the facilitation and business development of government funded programmes to both adult learners and apprentices within the logistics industry.

Weller said: “The training and compliance issues in the supply of drivers to the logistics industry are becoming critical in the maintenance of legal requirements, with the deadline of the driver CPC for HGV drivers fast approaching. TRG Logistics, through the implementation of its world class driver programme, must ensure that all legal and regulative issues are adhered to - so accurate planning and foresight is required.”
