My Services
Building the foundations of a safe, legal, and efficient transport operation through expert, hands-on support.

Vehicle Roadworthiness & Maintenance
A core undertaking of your licence is to keep vehicles "fit and serviceable." This requires a proactive, systematic approach to maintenance that is rigorously documented and consistently applied.
I assess your needs and recommend the best digital systems to manage your fleet maintenance, ensuring you prevent costly prohibitions and protect your OCRS.
- Maintenance System & Technology Consultancy
- Preventative Maintenance Inspection (PMI) Planning

- Brake Testing Strategy
Drivers' Hours & Tachograph Compliance
Managing drivers' hours and tachograph records is one of the most complex areas of transport law. The consequences of non-compliance—from fines to action against your licence—are severe.
I help you implement foolproof systems for data capture, analysis, and infringement management, ensuring you meet your legal duties under both drivers' hours regulations and the Working Time Directive (WTD).
