HGV driver training programme going from strength to strength

Now, just four months on, their first two trainees have qualified as fully-fledged and qualified HGV drivers, with another member of staff likely to pass during the coming weeks.

Fresh Start Waste work with thousands of businesses across the North-West of England to develop sustainable waste management solutions which look to reduce waste produced, recycle as much as possible and divert waste from landfill through using energy recovery instead. This work sees the waste collected in environmentally friendly trucks by carbon conscious Fresh Start Waste, which is then taken to their state-of-the-art recycling centre for further sorting and onward recycling.

They continued to operate throughout the pandemic and with more and more businesses choosing Fresh Start for their waste and recycling services they decided to future-proof operations and address the shortage of qualified HGV drivers by offering a fully funded comprehensive HGV training programme to those employees wishing to take this career path.
