The inaugural CTS Transport Compliance Seminar took place on the 5th November at Knight’s Hill Hotel in Kings Lynn, with speakers from CTS Training & Consultancy, JMW Solicitors and the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit.
This event was attended by around 50 professionals in the logistics industry, from transport managers and planners, business owners, directors and consultants.
The CTS Transport Compliance Seminar was a great opportunity for local transport professionals to expand their knowledge of important compliance issues, keep up with the latest industry developments, and connect with fellow businesses.
Tom Cornwell from CTS Training & Consultancy kicked off the night with the launch of CTS Companion. This new membership service from CTS offers regular support, updates and discounts to help transport operators stay on top of their fleet compliance. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about CTS Companion.
Scott Bell, Partner and Head of Commercial Road Transport from JMW Solicitors delivered a presentation on Keeping Compliant covering Traffic Commissioner powers and avoiding Public Inquiry, as well as a quick round up of ‘hot topics’ in the road transport law sector.
Finally, we heard from Robert Hardingham and Chris Leah with the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit about their role and the investigations that they carry out. They also touched on plenty of relevant subjects such as load security and bridge strikes, and also did some myth-busting of common misconceptions about their work.
In a dynamic industry like transport and logistics, it’s essential to keep up to date with industry changes and to continuously improve compliance. CTS Transport Compliance Seminars are the ideal place to stay aware of any news and also have the opportunity to ask questions to industry experts. Attendees last night certainly made the most of the speakers’ knowledge and were able to see compliance issues from both the police and the solicitor’s perspectives.
Attendees described the evening as highly informative and appreciated the interactive engagement with the speakers. Many highlighted that the combination of speakers was particularly valuable as their knowledge and experience naturally complemented each other.
Our director Craig said:
“What an outstanding first event for CTS!
I am immensely proud of our team for bringing this initiative to life and deeply appreciative of the positive feedback we received from attendees.
My sincere thanks go to our exceptional speakers for their valuable insights and contributions, which played a key role in the event’s success. We look forward to building on this momentum and hosting our next event in spring 2026.”
Thank you to Knight’s Hill Hotel for the great venue and refreshments.
The next CTS Compliance Seminar returns in the spring, where we will hear from the Norfolk Police Commercial Vehicle Unit again, this time on Safe Loading.
