At LTS Global Solutions, we pride ourselves on maintaining human service excellence while being able to deliver globally. We know that our business isn’t just about trucks and warehouses – it’s about the people behind the wheel and the values they carry with them every day.
That’s why we make it our business to ensure our team is among the best in the industry, not just in terms of their technical skills, but in their overall wellbeing.
Our ambassadors on the road
Our 39 HGV and van drivers are often the face of LTS that people actually see. They are our ambassadors, representing us – and by extension, your brand – whenever they meet a customer on the road. To support them, we’ve built a culture of continuous development that goes far beyond basic compliance.
Every one of our drivers undergoes regular training and refresher courses to ensure they are operating with best practices at all times. This includes:
- Cutting-edge safety: We use VR headsets in our courses, such as the safe urban driving course, allowing our drivers to experience the road from the perspective of a cyclist.
- Comprehensive skillsets: Our team trains in everything from smart driving and bridge safety to counter-terrorism and safe loading.
- Continuous assessment: Beyond an annual 45-question test, we regularly assess our drivers to identify any areas where we can provide extra support and scrutiny.
Investing in the whole person
Developing a team means more than just sharpening their professional skills; it means looking after their mental and physical health. Through our Aquarius portal and our EAP, we provide our team with a wealth of information to help them thrive both on and off the clock.
Each month, we focus on a fresh topic – ranging from sleep and diabetes to mental health and managing stress while driving in extreme weather. By offering these resources, we ensure our team feels valued and engaged, which in turn leads to a more productive and loyal workforce.
Why this matters for you
We don’t just invest in our people for our own sake; we do it to act as a true extension of your ambitions. The results of this commitment speak for themselves: over the last two years, we’ve seen our driver infringement rate drop from 5.9% to just 3.1%.
When you partner with us, you get more than a logistics provider. You are gaining a highly-skilled, proud, and healthy partner that treats your products and your reputation with the same care and accountability as an internal team.
We are proud of the foundation we are building here at LTS – a future-proofed supply chain powered by a human commitment to excellence.
Dave Hands, Managing Director at LTS Global Solutions, comments: “A company is only as good as its employees and, although we’re not one of the biggest transport operators, we make it our business to ensure we are up there among the best.
“As a company we recognise the value in looking after our employees and we pull out all the stops to ensure we are doing as much as we can, not only for the benefit of the business but so they feel valued and remain engaged. We are proud that we have been able to build a highly-skilled workforce, many of which have been with us for several years and are proud to say they work for us.”
